    The XCreateIC function creates a context within the specified input method.

The mandatory 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:

    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.
