Specifies the full resource name of the application. ...Specifies the
variable length argument list to set or get XIM values.
The XOpenIM
function opens an input method, matching the current locale and modifiers
specification. Current locale and modifiers are bound to the input method
at opening time. The locale associated with an input method cannot be changed
dynamically. This implies that the strings returned by XmbLookupString
or XwcLookupString, for any input context affiliated with a given input
method will be encoded in the locale current at the time the input method
is opened.
The specific input method to which this call will be routed is
identified on the basis of the current locale. XOpenIM will identify
a default input method corresponding to the current locale. That default
can be modified using XSetLocaleModifiers for the input method modifier.
The db argument is the resource database to be used by the input method
for looking up resources that are private to the input method. It is not
intended that this database be used to look up values that can be set as
IC values in an input context. If db is NULL, no database is passed to the
input method.
The res_name and res_class arguments specify the resource
name and class of the application. They are intended to be used as prefixes
by the input method when looking up resources that are common to all input
contexts that may be created for this input method. The characters used
for resource names and classes must be in the X Portable Character Set.
The resources looked up are not fully specified if res_name or res_class
is NULL.
The res_name and res_class arguments are not assumed to exist beyond
the call to XOpenIM. The specified resource database is assumed to exist
for the lifetime of the input method.
XOpenIM returns NULL if no input
method could be opened.
The XCloseIM function closes the specified input
method.
The XSetIMValues function presents a variable argument list programming
interface for setting attributes of the specified input method. It returns
NULL if it succeeds; otherwise, it returns the name of the first argument
that could not be set. Xlib does not attempt to set arguments from the supplied
list that follow the failed argument; all arguments in the list preceding
the failed argument have been set correctly.
The XGetIMValues function
presents a variable argument list programming interface for querying properties
or features of the specified input method. This function returns NULL if
it succeeds; otherwise, it returns the name of the first argument that
could not be obtained.
Each XIM value argument (following a name) must point
to a location where the XIM value is to be stored. That is, if the XIM value
is of type T, the argument must be of type T*. If T itself is a pointer
type, then XGetIMValues allocates memory to store the actual data, and
the client is responsible for freeing this data by calling XFree with
the returned pointer.
The XDisplayOfIM function returns the display associated
with the specified input method.
The XLocaleOfIM function returns the
locale associated with the specified input method.
The XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback
function registers a callback to be invoked whenever a new input method
becomes available for the specified display that matches the current locale
and modifiers.
The function returns True if it succeeds; otherwise,
it returns
False.
The XUnregisterIMInstantiateCallback function removes an input
method instantiation callback previously registered. The function returns
True if it succeeds; otherwise, it returns False.
