The apostrophe flag
Hi.
I didn't find the apostrophe flag description in
man awk or
Effective AWK Programing, 2nd, but in printf(3), we see:
Quote:
' For decimal conversion (i, d, u, f, F, g, G) the output is to be
grouped with thousands' grouping characters if the locale infor-
mation indicates any. Note that many versions of gcc cannot
parse this option and will issue a warning. SUSv2 does not
include %'F.
-- excerpt from man 3 printf
cheers, drl

XmStringSegmentCreate(library call) XmStringSegmentCreate(library call)
NAME
XmStringSegmentCreate -- A compound string function that creates a compound string
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
XmString XmStringSegmentCreate(
char * text,
XmStringTag tag,
XmStringDirection direction,
Boolean separator);
DESCRIPTION
This function is obsolete and exists for compatibility with previous releases. It can be replaced by using a combination of XmStringCompo-
nentCreate and XmStringConcat. XmStringSegmentCreate is a high-level function that assembles a compound string consisting of a font list
element tag, a direction component, a text component, and an optional separator component.
The function allocates space for the returned compound string. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The
application can recover the allocated space by calling XmStringFree.
text Specifies a NULL-terminated string to be used as the text component of the compound string.
tag Specifies the tag component to be associated with the text. The value XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG is for compatibility with previous
releases.
direction Specifies the direction of the text.
separator A value of False means the compound string does not have a separator at the end. A value of True, means a separator immediately
follows the text component.
RETURN
Returns a new compound string.
