XCreateIC(3X11)             X Version 11(Release 5)             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 specified input
      method.

      Some of the arguments are mandatory at creation time, and the input
      context will not be created if they are not provided.  Those 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.
