## Synopsis

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringNCopy (`s1, num_bytes`)
XmString `s1`;
int `num_bytes`;

## DESCRIPTION

XmStringNCopy creates a copy of `s1` that contains a specified number of bytes, including tags, directional indicators, and separators. It then returns the resulting compound string. The original strings are preserved. The space for the resulting compound string is allocated within the function. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The memory can be recovered by calling XmStringFree.

`s1` |  | Specifies the compound string.
`num_bytes` |  | Specifies the number of bytes of `s1` to copy. If this value is less than the length of `s1`, as many bytes as possible, but possibly fewer than this value, will be appended to `s1` such that the resulting string is still a valid compound string.

## RETURN VALUE

Returns a new compound string.
