XkbGetKeyTypes(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetKeyTypes(3)
NAME
XkbGetKeyTypes - Obtain the list of available key types in the server's
keyboard mapping
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetKeyTypes (Display *dpy, unsigned int first, unsigned int
num, XkbDescPtr xkb);
ARGUMENTS
dpy connection to X server
first index to first type to get, 0 => 1st type
num number of key types to be returned
xkb keyboard description containing client map to update
DESCRIPTION
XkbGetKeyTypes queries the server for the desired types, waits for a re-
ply, and returns the desired types in the xkb->map->types. If success-
ful, it returns Success.
XkbGetKeyTypes returns BadAccess if the Xkb extension has not been prop-
erly initialized and BadValue if the combination of first and num re-
sults in numbers out of valid range.
NOTE: XkbGetKeyTypes is used to obtain descriptions of the key types
themselves, not the key types bound to individual keys. To obtain the
key types bound to an individual key, refer to the key_sym_map field of
the client map.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAccess The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized
BadValue An argument is out of range
