XLIB FUNCTIONS                                    XCreateIC(3x11)



NAME
     XCreateIC, XDestroyIC, XIMOfIC - create, destroy, and obtain
     the input method of an input context

SYNTAX
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     XIC XCreateIC(XIM im, ...);

     void XDestroyIC(XIC ic);

     XIM XIMOfIC(XIC ic);

ARGUMENTS
     ic        Specifies the input context.

     im        Specifies the input method.

     ...       Specifies the variable length argument list to set
               XIC values.

DESCRIPTION
     The XCreateIC function creates a context within the speci-
     fied 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 context 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 fol-
     lowing reasons:

     +o    A required argument was not set.

     +o    A read-only argument was set (for example, XNFil-
          terEvents).

     +o    The argument name is not recognized.

     +o    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.

XLIB FUNCTIONS                                    XCreateIC(3x11)



     The XIMOfIC function returns the input method associated
     with the specified input context.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAtom   A value for an Atom argument does not name a
               defined Atom.

     BadColor  A value for a Colormap argument does not name a
               defined Colormap.

     BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a
               defined Pixmap.

     BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a
               defined Window.
