XmParseTable(3)XmParseTable(3)NAMEXmParseTable — Data type for a compound string parse table
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
DESCRIPTIONXmParseTable is the data type for an array of parse mappings (objects
of type XmParseMapping).
A parse table is used by some routines that parse and unparse compound
strings. The table is an ordered list of parse mappings. A parsing
routine that uses a parse table scans the input text and searches the
parse mappings, in order, for one containing a pattern that matches the
input text. The matching parse mapping supplies a compound string to
be included in the compound string under construction.
An unparsing routine that uses a parse table searches the parse map‐
pings, in order, for one containing a compound string that matches the
input compound string. The unparsing routine can then include the
parse mapping's text pattern in the output text under construction.
