XCreateIC(3X11)XCreateIC(3X11)NAME
XCreateIC, XDestroyIC, XIMOfIC - create, destroy, and obtain the input
method of an input context
SYNOPSIS
XIC XCreateIC(im, ...)
XIM im;
void XDestroyIC(ic)
XIC ic;
XIM XIMOfIC(ic)
XIC ic;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the input context. Specifies the input method. Specifies
the variable length argument list to set XIC values.
DESCRIPTION
The XCreateIC function creates a context within the specified input
method.
Some of the arguments are mandatory at creation time, and the input
context will not be created if those arguments are not provided. The
mandatory arguments are the input style and the set of text callbacks
(if the input style selected requires callbacks). All other input con‐
text values can be set later.
XCreateIC returns a NULL value if no input context could be created. A
NULL value could be returned for any of the following reasons: A
required argument was not set. A read-only argument was set (for exam‐
ple, XNFilterEvents). The argument name is not recognized. The input
method encountered an input method implementation-dependent error.
The XCreateIC can generate BadAtom, BadColor, BadPixmap, and BadWindow
errors.
XDestroyIC destroys the specified input context.
The XIMOfIC function returns the input method associated with the spec‐
ified input context.
DIAGNOSTICS
A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom. A value for
a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap. A value for a
Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap. A value for a Window
argument does not name a defined Window.
