XkbOpenDisplay(3)		  XKB FUNCTIONS 	       XkbOpenDisplay(3)

NAME
     XkbOpenDisplay  -	 Checks for a compatible version of the Xkb extension in
     both the library and the server, and initializes the extension for use.

SYNOPSIS
     Display *XkbOpenDisplay (_Xconst char *display_name, int  *event_rtrn,  int
	    *error_rtrn,   int	 *major_in_out,  int  *minor_in_out,  int  *rea-
	    son_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS
     display_name
	    hardware display name, which determines the display  and  communica-
	    tions domain to be used

     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

     reason_rtrn
	    backfilled with a status code

DESCRIPTION
     As  a convenience, you can use the function XkbOpenDisplay to perform these
     three tasks at once: open a connection to an X server, check for a compati-
     ble version of the Xkb extension in both the library and  the  server,  and
     initialize the extension for use.

     XkbOpenDisplay is a convenience function that opens an X display connection
     and  initializes  the  X keyboard extension. In all cases, upon return rea-
     son_rtrn contains a status value indicating success or the type of failure.
     If major_in_out and minor_in_out are not NULL, XkbOpenDisplay  first  calls
     XkbLibraryVersion	to  determine  whether the client library is compatible,
     passing it the values pointed to by major_in_out and minor_in_out.  If  the
     library  is  incompatible,  XkbOpenDisplay  backfills  major_in_out and mi-
     nor_in_out with the major and minor extension versions of the library being
     used and returns NULL.  If the library is compatible,  XkbOpenDisplay  next
     calls  XOpenDisplay with the display_name.  If this fails, the function re-
     turns NULL. If successful, XkbOpenDisplay calls XkbQueryExtension and back-
     fills the major and minor Xkb  server  extension  version	numbers  in  ma-
     jor_in_out and minor_in_out. If the server extension version is not compat-
     ible  with  the library extension version or if the server extension is not
     present, XkbOpenDisplay closes the display and returns NULL. When	success-
     ful, the function returns the display connection.

     The possible values for reason_rtrn are:

     *	  XkbOD_BadLibraryVersion indicates XkbLibraryVersion returned False.

     *	  XkbOD_ConnectionRefused indicates the display could not be opened.

     *	  XkbOD_BadServerVersion  indicates  the library and the server have in-
	  compatible extension versions.

     *	  XkbOD_NonXkbServer indicates the extension is not  present  in  the  X
	  server.

     *	  XkbOD_Success indicates that the function succeeded.

RETURN VALUES
     NULL	    The  XkbOpenDisplay  function returns NULL if the library is
		    incompatible.

		    The XkbOpenDisplay function returns  NULL  if  the	call  to
		    XOpenDisplay with the display_name fails.

		    The XkbOpenDisplay function returns NULL and closes the dis-
		    play  if the server extension version is not compatible with
		    the library extension version or if the server extension  is
		    not present.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAccess	    The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized
