ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
db Specifies a pointer to the resource database.
res_name Specifies the full resource name of the
application.
res_class Specifies the full class name of the application.
om Specifies the output method.
... Specifies the variable length argument list to set
or get XOM values.
DESCRIPTION
The XOpenOM function opens an output method matching the
current locale and modifiers specification. The current
locale and modifiers are bound to the output method when
XOpenOM is called. The locale associated with an output
method cannot be changed.
The specific output method to which this call will be routed
is identified on the basis of the current locale and
modifiers. XOpenOM will identify a default output method
corresponding to the current locale. That default can be

modified using XSetLocaleModifiers to set the output method
modifier.
The db argument is the resource database to be used by the
output method for looking up resources that are private to
the output method. It is not intended that this database be
used to look up values that can be set as OC values in an
output context. If db is NULL, no database is passed to the
output method.
The res_name and res_class arguments specify the resource
name and class of the application. They are intended to be
used as prefixes by the output method when looking up
resources that are common to all output contexts that may be
created for this output method. The characters used for
resource names and classes must be in the X Portable
Character Set. The resources looked up are not fully
specified if res_name or res_class is NULL.
The res_name and res_class arguments are not assumed to
exist beyond the call to XOpenOM. The specified resource
database is assumed to exist for the lifetime of the output
method.
XOpenOM returns NULL if no output method could be opened.
The XCloseOM function closes the specified output method.
The XSetOMValues function presents a variable argument list
programming interface for setting properties or features of
the specified output method. This function returns NULL if
it succeeds; otherwise, it returns the name of the first
argument that could not be obtained.
No standard arguments are currently defined by Xlib.
The XGetOMValues function presents a variable argument list
programming interface for querying properties or features of
the specified output method. This function returns NULL if
it succeeds; otherwise, it returns the name of the first
argument that could not be obtained.
The XDisplayOfOM function returns the display associated
with the specified output method.
The XLocaleOfOM returns the locale associated with the
specified output method.
