NAME
XkbGetDeviceButtonActions - Query the button actions associated with an
X Input Extension device
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetDeviceButtonActions (Display *dpy, XkbDeviceInfoPtr de-
vice_info, Bool all_buttons, unsigned int first_button, unsigned
int num_buttons);
ARGUMENTS
dpy connection to X server
device_info
structure to update with results
all_buttons
True => get information for all buttons
first_button
number of first button for which info is desired
num_buttons
number of buttons for which info is desired
DESCRIPTION
XkbGetDeviceButtonActions queries the server for the desired button in-
formation for the device indicated by the device_spec field of de-
vice_info and waits for a reply. If successful, XkbGetDeviceButtonAc-
tions backfills the button actions (btn_acts field of device_info) for
only the requested buttons, updates the name, type, supported, and un-
supported fields, and returns Success.
all_buttons, first_button and num_buttons specify the device buttons for
which actions should be returned. Setting all_buttons to True requests
actions for all device buttons; if all_buttons is False, first_button
and num_buttons specify a range of buttons for which actions are re-
quested.
If a compatible version of Xkb is not available in the server or the Xkb
extension has not been properly initialized, XkbGetDeviceButtonActions
returns BadAccess. If allocation errors occur, a BadAlloc status is re-
turned. If the specified device (device_info->device_spec) is invalid, a
BadKeyboard status is returned. If the device has no buttons, a BadMatch
status is returned. If first_button and num_buttons specify illegal but-
tons, a BadValue status is returned.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAccess The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadKeyboard The device specified was not a valid core or input exten-
sion device
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the
server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
otherwise invalid
BadValue An argument is out of range
