XmTabListCopy(library call)											       XmTabListCopy(library call)

NAME

       XmTabListCopy -- A convenience function that creates a new tab list from an existing list

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmTabList XmTabListCopy(
       XmTabList tablist,
       int offset,
       Cardinal count);

DESCRIPTION

       XmTabListCopy  creates a new tab list consisting of a copy of a portion of the contents of the tablist argument. This function starts copy-
       ing at the specified offset value of the tab list and copies count values.

       tablist	 Specifies a tab list to be copied.

       offset	 Specifies where to start copying. A value of 0 (zero) indicates begin at the beginning, a value of 1 indicates to skip the  first
		 tab, and so on. A negative indicates to begin counting backwards from the end.  A value of -1 indicates to start copying from the
		 last tab.

       count	 Specifies the number of tabs to copy. A value of 0 (zero) indicates to copy all elements from	the  starting  point  to  the  end
		 (beginning if offset is negative) of the tab list.

RETURN

       If  tablist  is NULL, this function returns NULL. Otherwise, this function returns a newly allocated XmTabList.	If the function does allo-
       cate an XmTabList, then the application is responsible for managing the allocated space.  The application can recover the  allocated  space
       by calling XmTabListFree.
