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.
