.TH "XmStringByteCompare" 3
.SH "NAME"
\fBXmStringByteCompare\fP \(em A compound string function that indicates the results of a byte-by-byte comparison
"XmStringByteCompare"
"compound string functions" "XmStringByteCompare"
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
.nf
#include <Xm/Xm\&.h>
\fBBoolean \fBXmStringByteCompare\fP\fR(
\fBXmString \fBs1\fR\fR,
\fBXmString \fBs2\fR\fR);
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous
releases\&.
\fBXmStringByteCompare\fP
returns a Boolean indicating the results of a byte-by-byte
comparison of two compound strings\&.
.PP
In general, if two compound strings are created with the same (\fBchar *\fR)
string using \fBXmStringCreateLocalized\fP in the same language
environment, the compound strings compare as equal\&.
If two compound strings are created with the same (\fBchar\ *\fP) string and
the same font list element tag set other than \fBXmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG\fP
using \fBXmStringCreate\fP, the strings compare as
equal\&.
.PP
In some cases, once a compound string
is put into a widget, that string is converted into an internal form to
allow faster processing\&. Part of the conversion process strips out
unnecessary or redundant information\&. If an application then does an
\fBXtGetValues\fP to retrieve a compound string from a widget (specifically,
Label and all of its subclasses), it is not guaranteed that the compound
string returned is byte-for-byte the same as the string given to
the widget originally\&.
.IP "\fIs1\fP" 10
Specifies a compound string to be compared with \fIs2\fP
.IP "\fIs2\fP" 10
Specifies a compound string to be compared with \fIs1\fP
.SH "RETURN"
.PP
Returns True if two compound strings are identical byte-by-byte\&.
