• widget — Specifies the FileSelectionBox widget ID. that's the one you're poking. 🫶
• dirmask — Specifies the directory mask used in determining the directories and files displayed in the FileSelectionBox lists. This value is used as the mask member of the input data XmFileSelectionBoxCallbackStruct structure passed to the FileSelectionBox's XmNqualifySearchDataProc. The dir and pattern members of that structure are NULL. 💀 so yes, both dir and pattern are NULL, no cap.

For a complete definition of FileSelectionBox and its associated resources, see XmFileSelectionBox(3). This is lowkey important, bestie.
