XkbGetUpdatedMap(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS		   XkbGetUpdatedMap(3)

NAME
       XkbGetUpdatedMap	 -   Update the	client or server map information in an
       existing	keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetUpdatedMap (Display	*display, unsigned int	which,	XkbDe-
	      scPtr xkb);

ARGUMENTS
       display
	      connection to X server

       which  mask selecting subcomponents to populate

       xkb    keyboard description to be updated

DESCRIPTION
       The  which parameter is a bitwise inclusive OR of the masks in Table 1.
       If the needed components	of the xkb structure  are  not	already	 allo-
       cated,  XkbGetUpdatedMap	 allocates them.  XkbGetUpdatedMap fetches the
       requested information for the device specified in the XkbDescRec	passed
       in the xkb parameter.

       XkbGetUpdatedMap	is synchronous;	it queries the server for the  desired
       information, waits for a	reply, and then	returns. If successful,	XkbGe-
       tUpdatedMap  returns Success. If	unsuccessful, XkbGetUpdatedMap returns
       one of the following: BadAlloc (unable to allocate a component  in  the
       XkbDescRec  structure),	BadValue  (some	 mask  bits in which are unde-
       fined), BadImplementation (a compatible version of the Xkb extension is
       not available in	the server or the reply	from the server	was invalid).

RETURN VALUES
       Success	      The XkbGetUpdatedMap function returns Success if a reply
		      is received to the server	query for the desired informa-
		      tion.

STRUCTURES
       The complete description	of an Xkb keyboard is given by an  XkbDescRec.
       The component structures	in the XkbDescRec represent the	major Xkb com-
       ponents.

       typedef struct {
	  struct _XDisplay * display;	   /* connection to X server */
	  unsigned short     flags;	   /* private to Xkb, do not modify */
	  unsigned short     device_spec;  /* device of	interest */
	  KeyCode	     min_key_code; /* minimum keycode for device */
	  KeyCode	     max_key_code; /* maximum keycode for device */
	  XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;	   /* controls */
	  XkbServerMapPtr    server;	   /* server keymap */
	  XkbClientMapPtr    map;	   /* client keymap */
	  XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /* indicator	map */
	  XkbNamesPtr	     names;	   /* names for	all components */
	  XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;	   /* compatibility map	*/
	  XkbGeometryPtr     geom;	   /* physical geometry	of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The  display field points to an X display structure. The	flags field is
       private to the library: modifying flags	may  yield  unpredictable  re-
       sults.  The  device_spec	 field	specifies the device identifier	of the
       keyboard	input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the  core
       keyboard	 device.  The min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the
       least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard.

       Each structure component	has a corresponding mask bit that is  used  in
       function	 calls to indicate that	the structure should be	manipulated in
       some manner, such as allocating it or freeing it. These masks and their
       relationships to	the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown in Table	2.
	       Table 2 Mask Bits for XkbDescRec
       --------------------------------------------------
       Mask Bit		      XkbDescRec Field	 Value
       --------------------------------------------------
       XkbControlsMask	      ctrls		 (1L<<0)
       XkbServerMapMask	      server		 (1L<<1)
       XkbIClientMapMask      map		 (1L<<2)
       XkbIndicatorMapMask    indicators	 (1L<<3)
       XkbNamesMask	      names		 (1L<<4)
       XkbCompatMapMask	      compat		 (1L<<5)
       XkbGeometryMask	      geom		 (1L<<6)
       XkbAllComponentsMask   All Fields	 (0x7f)

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc	      Unable to	allocate storage

       BadImplementation
		      Invalid reply from server

       BadValue	      An argument is out of range
