+.SH NAME
+XSupportsLocale, XSetLocaleModifiers \- determine locale support and configure locale modifiers
+.SH SYNTAX
+Bool XSupportsLocale\^(\|)
+.LP
+char *XSetLocaleModifiers\^(\^\fImodifier_list\fP\^)
+.br
+ char *\fImodifier_list\fP\^;
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.IP \fImodifier_list\fP 1i
+Specifies the modifiers.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XSupportsLocale
+function returns
+.ZN True
+if Xlib functions are capable of operating under the current locale.
+If it returns
+.ZN False ,
+Xlib locale-dependent functions for which the
+.ZN XLocaleNotSupported
+return status is defined will return
+.ZN XLocaleNotSupported .
+Other Xlib locale-dependent routines will operate in the ``C'' locale.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XSetLocaleModifiers
+function sets the X modifiers for the current locale setting.
+The modifier_list argument is a null-terminated string of the form
+``{@\^\fIcategory\fP\^=\^\fIvalue\fP\^}'', that is,
+having zero or more concatenated ``@\^\fIcategory\fP\^=\^\fIvalue\fP\^''
+entries, where \fIcategory\fP is a category name
+and \fIvalue\fP is the (possibly empty) setting for that category.
+The values are encoded in the current locale.
+Category names are restricted to the POSIX Portable Filename Character Set.
+.LP
+The local host X locale modifiers announcer (on POSIX-compliant systems,
+the XMODIFIERS environment variable) is appended to the modifier_list to
+provide default values on the local host.
+If a given category appears more than once in the list,
+the first setting in the list is used.
+If a given category is not included in the full modifier list,
+the category is set to an implementation-dependent default
+for the current locale.
+An empty value for a category explicitly specifies the
+implementation-dependent default.
+.LP
+If the function is successful, it returns a pointer to a string.
+The contents of the string are such that a subsequent call with that string
+(in the same locale) will restore the modifiers to the same settings.
+If modifier_list is a NULL pointer,
+.ZN XSetLocaleModifiers
+also returns a pointer to such a string,
+and the current locale modifiers are not changed.
+.LP
+If invalid values are given for one or more modifier categories supported by
+the locale, a NULL pointer is returned, and none of the
+current modifiers are changed.
+.LP
+At program startup,
+the modifiers that are in effect are unspecified until
+the first successful call to set them. Whenever the locale is changed, the
+modifiers that are in effect become unspecified until the next successful call
+to set them.
+Clients should always call
+.ZN XSetLocaleModifiers
+with a non-NULL modifier_list after setting the locale
+before they call any locale-dependent Xlib routine.
+.LP
+The only standard modifier category currently defined is ``im'',
+which identifies the desired input method.
+The values for input method are not standardized.
+A single locale may use multiple input methods,
+switching input method under user control.
+The modifier may specify the initial input method in effect
+or an ordered list of input methods.
+Multiple input methods may be specified in a single im value string
+in an implementation-dependent manner.
+.LP
+The returned modifiers string is owned by Xlib and should not be modified or
+freed by the client.
+It may be freed by Xlib after the current locale or modifiers are changed.
+Until freed, it will not be modified by Xlib.
