XkbQueryExtension(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS		  XkbQueryExtension(3)

NAME
       XkbQueryExtension  -  Determines	the compatibility of a library at run-
       time.

SYNOPSIS

       Bool   XkbQueryExtension	  (Display   *dpy,   int   *opcode_rtrn,   int
	      *event_rtrn,   int  *error_rtrn,	int  *major_in_out,  int  *mi-
	      nor_in_out);

ARGUMENTS
       dpy    connection to the	X server

       opcode_rtrn
	      backfilled with the major	extension opcode

       event_rtrn
	      backfilled with the extension base event code

       error_rtrn
	      backfilled with the extension base error code

       major_in_out
	      compile time lib major version in, server	major version out

       minor_in_out
	      compile time lib min version in, server minor version out

DESCRIPTION
       Call XkbQueryExtension to check for the presence	and  compatibility  of
       the extension in	the server and to initialize the extension. Because of
       potential  version  mismatches,	you  cannot  use the generic extension
       mechanism functions ( XQueryExtension and XInitExtension	) for checking
       for the presence	of, and	initializing the Xkb extension.

       You must	call XkbQueryExtension	or  XkbOpenDisplay  before  using  any
       other  Xkb  library interfaces, unless such usage is explicitly allowed
       in the interface	description in this document. The exceptions are:  Xk-
       bIgnoreExtension,  XkbLibraryVersion,  and  a  handful  of audible-bell
       functions. You should not use any other Xkb functions if	the  extension
       is  not	present	 or is uninitialized. In general, calls	to Xkb library
       functions made prior to initializing the	Xkb extension cause  BadAccess
       protocol	errors.

       XkbQueryExtension both determines whether a compatible Xkb extension is
       present	in  the	 X  server  and	 initializes  the extension when it is
       present.

       The XkbQueryExtension function determines whether a compatible  version
       of  the	X Keyboard Extension is	present	in the server. If a compatible
       extension is present, XkbQueryExtension returns True; otherwise,	it re-
       turns False.

       If a compatible version of Xkb is present,  XkbQueryExtension  initial-
       izes  the extension. It backfills the major opcode for the keyboard ex-
       tension in opcode_rtrn, the base	event code in event_rtrn, the base er-
       ror code	in error_rtrn, and the major and minor version numbers of  the
       extension  in  major_in_out  and	minor_in_out.  The major opcode	is re-
       ported in the req_major fields of some Xkb events. For a	discussion  of
       the base	event code.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The XkbQueryExtension function returns True if it	deter-
		      mines  a	compatible version of the X Keyboard Extension
		      is present in the	server.

       False	      The XkbQueryExtension function returns False if  it  de-
		      termines	a  compatible version of the X Keyboard	Exten-
		      sion is not present in the server.
