XCreateIC(3X11)           XLIB FUNCTIONS          XCreateIC(3X11)


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

SYNTAX
       XIC XCreateIC(im, ...)
             XIM im;

       void XDestroyIC(ic)
             XIC ic;

       XIM XIMOfIC(ic)
             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 they are not pro-
       vided.  Those arguments are the input style and the set of
       text callbacks (if the input style selected requires call-
       backs).  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:

       o    A required argument was not set.

       o    A read-only argument was set (for example,
            XNFilterEvents).

       o    The argument name is not recognized.

       o    The input method encountered an input method imple-
            mentation 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
       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.
