XkbGetState(3)							   XKB FUNCTIONS						    XkbGetState(3)

NAME

       XkbGetState -  Obtains the keyboard state

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbGetState ( display, device_spec, state_return )
	     Display *display;
	     unsigned int device_spec;
	     XkbStatePtr state_return;

ARGUMENTS

       display
	      connection to the X server

       device_spec
	      device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       state_return
	      backfilled with Xkb state

DESCRIPTION

       The  XkbGetState  function  queries  the server for the current keyboard state, waits for a reply, and then backfills state_return with the
       results.

       All group values are expressed as group indices in the range [0..3]. Modifiers and the compatibility modifier state values are expressed as
       the bitwise union of the core X11 modifier masks. The pointer button state is reported as in the core X11 protocol.

NAME

       XkbGetKeyboard -   Retrieves one or more components of a keyboard device description

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbGetKeyboard ( display, which, device_spec )
	     Display * display;
	     unsigned int which;
	     unsigned int device_spec;

ARGUMENTS

       display
	      connection to the X server

       device_spec
	      device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       bits_to_change
	      determines events to be selected / deselected

       values_for_bits
	      1=>select, 0->deselect; for events in bits_to_change

DESCRIPTION

       XkbGetKeyboard allocates and returns a pointer to a keyboard description. It queries the server for those components specified in the which
       parameter for device device_spec and copies the results to the XkbDescRec it allocated. The remaining fields in	the  keyboard  description
       are set to NULL. The valid masks for which are those listed in Table 1.

       XkbServerMapMask       server		 (1L<<1)

       XkbAllComponentsMask   All Fields	 (1L<<7)

       XkbGetKeyboard  is  used  to read the current description for one or more components of a keyboard device. It calls XkbGetKeyboardByName as
       follows:

       XkbGetKeyboardByName(dpy, device_spec, NULL, which, which, False).
