XkbGetIndicatorMap(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetIndicatorMap(3)
NAME
XkbGetIndicatorMap - Gets the map for one or more indicators, using a
mask to specify the indicators
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetIndicatorMap (Display *dpy, unsigned int which, XkbDescPtr
desc);
ARGUMENTS
dpy connection to the X server
which mask of indicators for which maps should be returned
desc keyboard description to be updated
DESCRIPTION
Xkb allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two
different methods. The first method, which is similar to the core X im-
plementation, uses a mask to specify the indicators. The second method,
which is more suitable for applications concerned with interoperability,
uses indicator names. The correspondence between the indicator name and
the bit position in masks is as follows: one of the parameters returned
from XkbGetNamedIndicators is an index that is the bit position to use
in any function call that requires a mask of indicator bits, as well as
the indicator's index into the XkbIndicatorRec array of indicator maps.
XkbGetIndicatorMap obtains the maps from the server for only those indi-
cators specified by the which mask and copies the values into the key-
board description specified by desc. If the indicators field of the
desc parameter is NULL, XkbGetIndicatorMap allocates and initializes it.
To free the indicator maps, use XkbFreeIndicatorMaps.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the
server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
otherwise invalid
BadImplementation
Invalid reply from server
