XMIMMBRESETIC(3)

💖 XmImMbResetIC 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the XmImMbResetIC page from the library call manual — yes it's a library call, and yes it's about to be your new fave little input-manager function 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

XmImMbResetIC — an input manager function that resets the input context for a widget. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/XmIm.h>
void XmImMbResetIC(
Widget widget,
char **mb);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ XmImMbResetIC goes and grabs the XIC of the widget and resets it. literally just that. reset era 💅✨

then it puts a pointer to a string containing the current preedit string into mb. and listen — the caller should free the returned string after use by calling Xfree. like, that's not optional bestie, that string is yours now, you have to take care of it 😭 don't just leave it there, that's giving memory leak energy and we do not stan 🙈

• widget — specifies the ID of the widget. this is the main character, the one getting its XIC reset 👑
• mb — contains a pointer to the preedit string upon return. so like, after the call, it's holding the goods ✨

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

None. nothing. zero. empty. she gives you nothing back and honestly? iconic 💀 but the preedit string lands in mb, so check there, not the return value, iykyk.

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie... it's empty. like, genuinely nothing listed here. the section is here, the vibes are here, the entries are not 🕳️💀 so if you were hoping for cross-references, not me finding them, because they do not exist 🙈

---

lowkey important reminder: free that string with Xfree after you're done. no cap. it's the whole personality of this function's documentation. 🫶

and that's the page, bestie!! 💖 this was XmImMbResetIC(library call) — that's the manual name and the footer both, so consider it lovingly shouted out at the very end, exactly where it belongs ✨🎀 go reset some input contexts, slay, periodt. 🦋💅
