.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBXmImGetXIC\fP creates and registers an X Input Context (XIC)
with the specified
arguments for \fIwidget\fP\&. If \fBXmINHERIT_POLICY\fP is specified
for \fIinput_policy\fP, a new XIC will be created only if
required to by the arguments or by the \fBVendorShell\fP input policy\&.
Any existing XIC registered with \fIwidget\fP is unregistered\&.
.PP

.IP "\fInum_args\fP" 10
Specifies the number of arguments in the \fIargs\fP parameter\&.
.SH "RETURN"
.PP
Returns the created XIC\&.
The application is responsible for freeing the returned XIC
