XVaCreateNestedList()XVaCreateNestedList()NameXVaCreateNestedList – allocate a nested variable argument list.
SynopsisXVaNestedList XVaCreateNestedList(dummy, ...)
int dummy;
Arguments
dummy Unused argument (required by ANSI C).
... Specifies the variable length argument list.
Returns
The variable-length argument list.
Availability
Release 5 and later.
DescriptionXVaCreateNestedList() creates a nested argument list of type XVaNest‐
edList. The first argument is an integer value which is unused but
required because ANSI-C does not allow variable-length argument lists
which do not have any "non-variable" arguments. This first argument is
followed by a NULL-terminated variable-length argument list. Gener‐
ally, the arguments will be input method or input context attribute
name/value pairs.
Nested lists created in this way may be used in any of the input method
and input context functions which require a variable-length argument
list. Also, the XNPreeditAttributes and XNStatusAttributes input con‐
text attributes are of this type XVaNestedList.
XVaCreateNestedList() allocates memory and copies its arguments into a
single list pointer which may be used as value for arguments requiring
a list value. Any entries are copied as specified. Data passed by
reference is not copied; the caller must ensure that data remains valid
for the lifetime of the nested list. The list should be freed using
XFree() when it is no longer needed.
