NAME
XmStringGetNextSegment — A compound string function that fetches the
bytes in the next segment of a compound string
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Boolean XmStringGetNextSegment(
XmStringContext context,
char **text,
XmStringTag *tag,
XmStringDirection *direction,
Boolean *separator);
DESCRIPTION
This routine is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous
releases. To read the contents of a compound string, read each
component of the string with XmStringGetNextTriple. This XmString
function returns the type, length, and value of the next component in
the compound string. XmStringGetNextSegment fetches the bytes in the
next segment; repeated calls fetch sequential segments. The text, tag,
and direction of the fetched segment are returned each time. A Boolean
status is returned to indicate whether a valid segment was successfully
parsed.
If the function returns True, then the function allocates space to hold
the returned text and tag. The application is responsible for managing
the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by
calling XtFree.
context Specifies the string context structure which was allocated by
the XmStringInitContext function
text Specifies a pointer to a NULL-terminated string
tag Specifies a pointer to the font list element tag associated
with the text
direction Specifies a pointer to the direction of the text
separator Specifies whether the next component of the compound string
is a separator
RETURN
Returns True if a valid segment is found.
