XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping(3)
NAME
XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping - Update the keyboard description that is in-
ternal to the X library
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping (XkbMapNotifyEvent *event);
ARGUMENTS
event event initiating remapping
DESCRIPTION
XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping is the Xkb equivalent of the core XRefreshKey-
boardMapping function. It requests that the X server send the current
key mapping information to this client. A client usually invokes XkbRe-
freshKeyboardMapping after receiving an XkbMapNotify event. XkbRe-
freshKeyboardMapping returns Success if it succeeds and BadMatch if the
event is not an Xkb event.
The XkbMapNotify event can be generated when some client calls Xkb-
SetMap, XkbChangeMap, XkbGetKeyboardByName, or any of the standard X li-
brary functions that change the keyboard mapping or modifier mapping.
RETURN VALUES
Success The XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping function returns Success
when the request that the X server send the current key
mapping information to this client is successful.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the
server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
otherwise invalid
