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
       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 following reasons: A
       required argument was not set.  A read-only argument was set (for example, 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 specified 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.
