xopenom

XOpenOM(3X)							  XLIB FUNCTIONS						       XOpenOM(3X)

NAME

       XOpenOM - opens output method

SYNTAX

       XOM XOpenOM(display, db, res_name, res_class)
	     Display *display;
	     XrmDatabase db;
	     char *res_name;
	     char *res_class;

ARGUMENTS

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       db	 Specifies a pointer to the resource database.

       res_name  Specifies the full resource name of the application.

       res_class Specifies the full class name of the application.

DESCRIPTION

       The XOpenOM function opens an output method matching the current locale and modifiers specification.  The current locale and modifiers are
       bound to the output method when XOpenOM is called.  The locale associated with an output method cannot be changed.

       The specific output method to which this call will be routed is identified on the basis of the current locale and modifiers.  XOpenOM will
       identify a default output method corresponding to the current locale.  That default can be modified using XSetLocaleModifiers to set the
       output method modifier.

       The db argument is the resource database to be used by the output method for looking up resources that are private to the output method.
       It is not intended that this database be used to look up values that can be set as OC values in an output context.  If db is NULL, no data-
       base is passed to the output method.

       The res_name and res_class arguments specify the resource name and class of the application.  They are intended to be used as prefixes by
       the output method when looking up resources that are common to all output contexts that may be created for this output method.  The charac-
       ters used for resource names and classes must be in the X Portable Character Set.  The resources looked up are not fully specified if
       res_name or res_class is NULL.

       The res_name and res_class arguments are not assumed to exist beyond the call to XOpenOM.  The specified resource database is assumed to
       exist for the lifetime of the output method.

       XOpenOM returns NULL if no output method could be opened.
