DESCRIPTION

20       When XNResetState is set to XIMInitialState, XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC and
21       Xutf8ResetIC reset an input context to its initial state; when XNReset‐
22       State is set to XIMPreserveState, the current input  context  state  is
23       preserved.   In  both  cases,  any  input  pending  on  that context is
24       deleted.  The input method is required to clear the  preedit  area,  if
25       any, and update the status accordingly.  Calling XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC
26       or Xutf8ResetIC does not change the focus.
27
28       The return value of XmbResetIC is  its  current  preedit  string  as  a
29       multibyte  string.   The  return  value  of  XwcResetIC  is its current
30       preedit string as  a  wide  character  string.   The  return  value  of
31       Xutf8ResetIC  is  its  current  preedit  string as an UTF-8 string.  If
32       there is any preedit text drawn or visible to the user, then these pro‐
33       cedures  must return a non-NULL string.  If there is no visible preedit
34       text, then it is input method  implementation-dependent  whether  these
35       procedures return a non-NULL string or NULL.
36
37       The client should free the returned string by calling XFree.
38
39       The  function  Xutf8ResetIC  is  an extension introduced by The XFree86
40       Project, Inc., in their 4.0.2 release.  Its presence  is  indicated  by
41       the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
