ARGUMENTS

14       ic        Specifies the input context.
15
16       ...       Specifies the variable length argument list to set or get XIC
17                 values.

DESCRIPTION

20       The XSetICValues function returns NULL if no error occurred; otherwise,
21       it  returns  the  name of the first argument that could not be set.  An
22       argument might not be set for any of the following reasons:
23
24       •    The argument is read-only (for example, XNFilterEvents).
25
26       •    The argument name is not recognized.
27
28       •    An implementation-dependent error occurs.
29
30       Each value to be set must be an appropriate datum,  matching  the  data
31       type imposed by the semantics of the argument.
32
33       The  XSetICValues can generate BadAtom, BadColor, BadCursor, BadPixmap,
34       and BadWindow errors.
35
36       The XGetICValues function returns NULL if no error occurred; otherwise,
37       it  returns  the name of the first argument that could not be obtained.
38       An argument could not be obtained for any of the following reasons:
39
40       •    The argument name is not recognized.
41
42       •    The input method encountered an implementation-dependent error.
43
44       Each IC attribute value argument (following a name) must point to a lo‐
45       cation where the IC value is to be stored.  That is, if the IC value is
46       of type T, the argument must be of type T*.  If T itself is  a  pointer
47       type,  then XGetICValues allocates memory to store the actual data, and
48       the client is responsible for freeing this data by calling  XFree  with
49       the returned pointer.  The exception to this rule is for an IC value of
50       type XNVaNestedList (for preedit and status attributes).  In this case,
51       the  argument  must  also  be of type XVaNestedList.  Then, the rule of
52       changing type T to T* and freeing the allocated data  applies  to  each
53       element of the nested list.

DIAGNOSTICS

56       BadAtom   A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined Atom.
57
58       BadColor  A  value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Col‐
59                 ormap.
60
61       BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.
62
63       BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.
64
65       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
