XkbNoteControlsChanges(3)	  XKB FUNCTIONS        XkbNoteControlsChanges(3)

NAME
     XkbNoteControlsChanges  -	Notes  the changes in a changes structure when a
     client receives an XkbControlsNotify event

SYNOPSIS
     void XkbNoteControlsChanges (XkbControlsChangesPtr changes,  XkbControlsNo-
	    tifyEvent *new, unsigned int wanted);

ARGUMENTS
     changes
	    records changes indicated by new

     new    tells which things have changed

     wanted
	    tells which parts of new to record in changes

DESCRIPTION
     Whenever a field in the controls structure changes in the server's keyboard
     description,  the server sends an XkbControlsNotify event to all interested
     clients.To receive XkbControlsNotify events under all possible  conditions,
     use  XkbSelectEvents  and pass XkbControlsNotifyMask in both bits_to_change
     and values_for_bits.

     To receive XkbControlsNotify events only under certain conditions, use Xkb-
     SelectEventDetails using XkbControlsNotify as the event_type and specifying
     the desired state changes in bits_to_change and values_for_bits using  mask
     bits from Table 1.

     Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select
     controls  for modification and to enable and disable the control. Note that
     the same mask bit is used to specify general modifications to  the  parame-
     ters  used  to configure the control (which), and to enable and disable the
     control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok" in column) are
     for controls that have no configurable attributes; and  for  controls  that
     are not boolean controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

			    Table 1 Controls Mask Bits
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Mask Bit		       which or        enabled	 Value
			       changed_ctrls   _ctrls

     XkbOverlay2Mask			       ok	 (1L<<11)
     XkbIgnoreGroupLockMask		       ok	 (1L<<12)
     XkbGroupsWrapMask	       ok			 (1L<<27)
     XkbInternalModsMask       ok			 (1L<<28)
     XkbIgnoreLockModsMask     ok			 (1L<<29)
     XkbPerKeyRepeatMask       ok			 (1L<<30)
     XkbControlsEnabledMask    ok			 (1L<<31)
     XkbAccessXOptionsMask     ok	       ok	 (XkbStickyKeysMask |
     XkbAccessXFeedbackMask)
     XkbAllBooleanCtrlsMask		       ok	 (0x00001FFF)
     XkbAllControlsMask        ok			 (0xF8001FFF)

     The changed_ctrls field specifies the controls components that have changed
     and  consists  of bits taken from the masks defined in Table 1 with "ok" in
     the changed_ctrls column.

     The controls currently enabled in	the  server  are  reported  in	the  en-
     abled_ctrls  field. If any controls were just enabled or disabled (that is,
     the contents of the enabled_ctrls field changed), they are flagged  in  the
     enabled_ctrl_changes  field.  The valid bits for these fields are the masks
     listed in Table 1 with "ok" in the  enabled_ctrls	column.  The  num_groups
     field  reports  the number of groups bound to the key belonging to the most
     number of groups and is automatically updated  when  the  keyboard  mapping
     changes.

     If  the  change  was  caused  by  a  request from a client, the keycode and
     event_type fields are set to zero and the req_major  and  req_minor  fields
     identify  the  request. The req_major value is the same as the major exten-
     sion opcode. Otherwise, event_type is set to the type of event that  caused
     the  change (one of KeyPress, KeyRelease, DeviceKeyPress, DeviceKeyRelease,
     ButtonPress or ButtonRelease), and req_major and req_minor  are  undefined.
     If event_type is KeyPress, KeyRelease, DeviceKeyPress, or DeviceKeyRelease,
     the  keycode  field is set to the key that caused the change. If event_type
     is ButtonPress or ButtonRelease, keycode contains the button number.

     When a client receives an XkbControlsNotify event, it can note the  changes
     in a changes structure using XkbNoteControlsChanges.

     The  wanted  parameter is a bitwise inclusive OR of bits taken from the set
     of masks specified in Table 1 with "ok" in the changed_ctrls column.   Xkb-
     NoteControlsChanges  copies  any  changes	reported in new and specified in
     wanted into the changes record specified by old.

STRUCTURES
     The structure for the XkbControlsNotify event is defined as follows:

     typedef struct {
	 int	       type;	      /* Xkb extension base event code */
	 unsigned long serial;	      /* X server serial number for event */
	 Bool	       send_event;    /* True => synthetically generated */
	 Display *     display;       /* server connection where event generated */
	 Time	       time;	      /* server time when event generated */
	 int	       xkb_type;      /* XkbCompatMapNotify */
	 int	       device;	      /* Xkb device ID, will not be XkbUseCoreKbd */
	 unsigned int  changed_ctrls; /* bits indicating which controls data have changed*/
	 unsigned int  enabled_ctrls; /* controls currently enabled in server */
	 unsigned int  enabled_ctrl_changes; /* bits indicating enabled/disabled controls */
	 int	       num_groups;    /* current number of keyboard groups */
	 KeyCode       keycode;       /* != 0 => keycode of key causing change */
	 char	       event_type;    /* Type of event causing change */
	 char	       req_major;     /* major event code of event causing change */
	 char	       req_minor;     /* minor event code of event causing change */
     } XkbControlsNotifyEvent;
