.SH ARGUMENTS
|
|
.IP \fIic\fP 1i
|
|
Specifies the input context.
|
|
.IP ... 1i
|
|
Specifies the variable length argument list to set or get XIC values.
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B XSetICValues
|
|
function returns NULL if no error occurred;
|
|
otherwise,
|
|
it returns the name of the first argument that could not be set.
|
|
An argument might not be set for any of the following reasons:
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
The argument is read-only (for example,
|
|
.BR XNFilterEvents ).
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
The argument name is not recognized.
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
An implementation-dependent error occurs.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Each value to be set must be an appropriate datum,
|
|
matching the data type imposed by the semantics of the argument.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B XSetICValues
|
|
can generate
|
|
.BR BadAtom ,
|
|
.BR BadColor ,
|
|
.BR BadCursor ,
|
|
.BR BadPixmap ,
|
|
and
|
|
.B BadWindow
|
|
errors.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B XGetICValues
|
|
function returns NULL if no error occurred; otherwise,
|
|
it returns the name of the first argument that could not be obtained.
|
|
An argument could not be obtained for any of the following reasons:
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
The argument name is not recognized.
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
|
The input method encountered an implementation-dependent error.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Each IC attribute value argument (following a name) must point to
|
|
a location where the IC value is to be stored.
|
|
That is, if the IC value is of type T,
|
|
the argument must be of type T*.
|
|
If T itself is a pointer type,
|
|
then
|
|
.B XGetICValues
|
|
allocates memory to store the actual data,
|
|
and the client is responsible for freeing this data by calling
|
|
.B XFree
|
|
with the returned pointer.
|
|
The exception to this rule is for an IC value of type
|
|
.B XNVaNestedList
|
|
(for preedit and status attributes).
|
|
In this case, the argument must also be of type
|
|
.BR XVaNestedList .
|
|
Then, the rule of changing type T to T* and freeing the allocated data
|
|
applies to each element of the nested list.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|

|
.B BadColor
|
|
A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
|
|
.TP 1i
