NAME

       XmStringByteCompare  — A compound string function that indicates the results of a byte-by-byte comparison
       "XmStringByteCompare" "compound string functions" "XmStringByteCompare"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       Boolean XmStringByteCompare(
       XmString s1,
       XmString s2);

DESCRIPTION

       This function is obsolete and exists  for  compatibility  with  previous  releases.   XmStringByteCompare
       returns a Boolean indicating the results of a byte-by-byte comparison of two compound strings.

       In   general,   if   two   compound   strings   are   created   with  the  same  (char  *)  string  using
       XmStringCreateLocalized in the same language environment, the compound strings compare as equal.  If  two
       compound  strings  are created with the same (char *) string and the same font list element tag set other
       than XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG using XmStringCreate, the strings compare as equal.

       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 XtGetValues 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.

       s1        Specifies a compound string to be compared with s2

       s2        Specifies a compound string to be compared with s1

RETURN

       Returns True if two compound strings are identical byte-by-byte.
