XmbResetIC(3X11)

     NAME
          XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC - reset the state of an input context

     SYNTAX
          char * XmbResetIC(ic)
                XIC ic;

          wchar_t * XwcResetIC(ic)
                XIC ic;

     ARGUMENTS
          ic        Specifies the input context.

     DESCRIPTION
          When XNResetState is set to XIMInitialState, XmbResetIC and
          XwcResetIC reset an input context to its initial state; when
          XNResetState is set to XIMPreserveState, the current input
          context state is preserved.  In both cases, any input
          pending on that context is deleted.  The input method is
          required to clear the preedit area, if any, and update the
          status accordingly.  Calling XmbResetIC or XwcResetIC does
          not change the focus.

          The return value of XmbResetIC is its current preedit string
          as a multibyte string.  If there is any preedit text drawn
          or visible to the user, then these procedures must return a
          non-NULL string.  If there is no visible preedit text, then
          it is input method implementation-dependent whether these
          procedures return a non-NULL string or NULL.

          The client should free the returned string by calling XFree.
