NAME

       dxkbledpanel - Present an on-screen display of keyboard indicators.

SYNOPSIS

       dxkbledpanel [options]

OPTIONS

       mask  is a bitmask where each bit corresponds to one of the thirty-two available keyboard indicators.  If -watch is used, dxkbledpanel will
       only display the indicators specified by mask.  -automatic instructs dxkbledpanel to  omit  automatic  XKB  indicators  from  the  display.
       +automatic  instructs  dxkbledpanel  to include automatic XKB indicators in the display.  -explicit instructs dxkbledpanel to omit explicit
       XKB indicators from the display.  +explicit instructs dxkbledpanel to include explicit XKB indicators in  the  display.	 -named  instructs
       dxkbledpanel  to omit named XKB indicators from the display.  +named instructs dxkbledpanel to include named XKB indicators in the display.
       -real instructs dxkbledpanel to omit real XKB indicators from the display.  +real instructs dxkbledpanel to include real XKB indicators	in
       the  display.  -virtual instructs dxkbledpanel to omit virtual XKB indicators from the display.	+virtual instructs dxkbledpanel to include
       virtual XKB indicators in the display.  -intersection instructs dxkbledpanel to only present the indicators that meet each of the  require-
       ments  specified by the above options.  -union instructs dxkbledpanel to present the indicators that meet any of the requirements specified
       by the above

       The default set of options is -intersection +named +virtual.

DESCRIPTION

       The dxkbledpanel command is meant to be a replacement for the kb_indicator application.	If XKB is active in the server,  the  dxkbledpanel
       command	presents  an on-screen display of keyboard indicators.	Each of the indicators is represented by a toggle button.  Pressing on the
       toggle button will change the state of the indicator as well as the modifier, control, or group state flagged by the  indicator.   See  the
       XKB library specification for more information on modifier, control, and group state.

XkbGetIndicatorState(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbGetIndicatorState(3)

NAME

       XkbGetIndicatorState - Obtains the current state of the keyboard indicators

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetIndicatorState (Display *display, unsigned int device_spec, unsigned int state_return);

ARGUMENTS

       - display
	      connection to the X server

       - device_spec
	      device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - state_return
	      backfilled with a mask of the indicator state

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two different methods. The first method, which is similar to the core
       X implementation, uses a mask to specify the indicators. The second method, which is more suitable for applications concerned with interop-
       erability,  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.

       XkbGetIndicatorState  queries  the  display for the state of the indicators on the device specified by the device_spec.	For each indicator
       that is "turned on" on the device, the associated bit is set in state_return.  If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is  not  avail-
       able in the server, XkbGetIndicatorState returns a BadMatch error. Otherwise, it sends the request to the X server, places the state of the
       indicators into state_return, and returns Success. Thus the value reported by XkbGetIndicatorState is identical to the  value  reported	by
       the core protocol.

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
