XkbChangeControls(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbChangeControls(3)
NAME
XkbChangeControls - Provides a flexible method for updating the controls in a server to match those in the changed keyboard description
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbChangeControls (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb, XkbControlsChangesPtr changes);
ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to X server
- xkb keyboard description with changed xkb->ctrls
- changes
which parts of xkb->ctrls have changed
DESCRIPTION
The XkbControlsChangesRec structure allows applications to track modifications to an XkbControlsRec structure and thereby reduce the amount
of traffic sent to the server. The same XkbControlsChangesRec structure may be used in several successive modifications to the same XkbCon-
trolsRec structure, then subsequently used to cause all of the changes, and only the changes, to be propagated to the server.
The changed_ctrls field is a mask specifying which logical sets of data in the controls structure have been modified. In this context, mod-
ified means set, that is, if a value is set to the same value it previously contained, it has still been modified, and is noted as changed.
Valid values for changed_ctrls are any combination of the masks listed in Table 1 that have "ok" in the changed_ctrls column. Setting a bit
implies the corresponding data fields from the "Relevant XkbControlsRec Data Fields" column in Table 1 have been modified. The
enabled_ctrls_changes field specifies which bits in the enabled_ctrls field have changed. If the number of keyboard groups has changed, the
num_groups_changed field is set to True.
Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select controls for modification and to enable and disable the con-
trol. Note that the same mask bit is used to specify general modifications to the parameters used to configure the control (which), and to
enable and disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok" in column) are for controls that have no configurable
attributes; and for controls that are not boolean controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

Table 2 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select
controls for
modification and to enable and disable the control. Note that the same mask bit
is used to
specify general modifications to the parameters used to configure the control
(which), and to
enable and disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no
"ok" in column)
are for controls that have no configurable attributes; and for controls that are
not boolean
controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

If you have an Xkb description with controls that have been modified and an XkbControlsChangesRec that describes the changes that have been
made, the XkbChangeControls function provides a flexible method for updating the controls in a server to match those in the changed key-
board description.
XkbChangeControls copies any controls fields specified by changes from the keyboard description controls structure, xkb->ctrls, to the
server specified by dpy.
STRUCTURES
The XkbControlsChangesRec structure is defined as follows:
typedef struct _XkbControlsChanges {
unsigned int changed_ctrls; /* bits indicating changed control data
*/
unsigned int enabled_ctrls_changes; /* bits indicating enabled/disabled
controls */
Bool num_groups_changed; /* True if number of keyboard groups
changed */
} XkbControlsChangesRec,*XkbControlsChangesPtr;
