context

Specifies the string context structure that was allocated by the XmStringInitContext function.

length

Specifies a pointer to the length of the value of the returned component.

value

Specifies a pointer to the value of the returned component. If the returned value is not NULL, the function allocates space to hold the returned value. When the application no longer needs the returned compound string, the application should call XtFree.
