XkbGetCompatMap(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetCompatMap(3) NAME
XkbGetCompatMap - Fetch any combination of the current compatibility map components from the server SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetCompatMap (Display *display, unsigned int which, XkbDescRec *xkb); ARGUMENTS
- display connection to server - which mask of compatibility map components to fetch - xkb keyboard description where results placed DESCRIPTION
When another client modifies the compatibility map, you are notified if you have selected for XkbCompatMapNotify events. XkbGetCompatMap is particularly useful when you receive an event of this type, as it allows you to update your program's version of the compatibility map to match the modified version now in the server. If your program is dealing with multiple servers and needs to configure them all in a sim- ilar manner, the updated compatibility map may be used to reconfigure other servers. XkbGetCompatMap fetches the components of the compatibility map specified in which from the server specified by display and places them in the compat structure of the keyboard description xkb. Valid values for which are an inclusive OR of the values shown in Table 1. Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks --------------------------------------------------------------- Mask Value Affecting --------------------------------------------------------------- XkbSymInterpMask (1<<0) Symbol interpretations XkbGroupCompatMask (1<<1) Group maps XkbAllCompatMask (0x3) All compatibility map components If no compatibility map structure is allocated in xkb upon entry, XkbGetCompatMap allocates one. If one already exists, its contents are overwritten with the returned results. XkbGetCompatMap fetches compatibility map information for the device specified by the device_spec field of xkb. Unless you have specifi- cally modified this field, it is the default keyboard device. XkbGetCompatMap returns Success if successful, BadAlloc if it is unable to obtain necessary storage for either the return values or work space, BadMatch if the dpy field of the xkb argument is non-NULL and does not match the display argument, and BadLength under certain conditions caused by server or Xkb implementation errors. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage BadLength The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid X Version 11 libX11 1.3.2 XkbGetCompatMap(3)

XkbFreeCompatMap(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbFreeCompatMap(3) NAME
XkbFreeCompatMap - Free an entire compatibility map or selected portions of one SYNOPSIS
void XkbFreeCompatMap ( xkb, which, free_map ) XkbDescPtr xkb; unsigned int which; Bool free_map; ARGUMENTS
- xkb Xkb description in which to free compatibility map - which mask of compatibility map components to free - free_map True => free XkbCompatMap structure itself DESCRIPTION
which specifies the compatibility map components to be freed (see XkbGetCompatMap). which is an inclusive OR of the bits shown in Table 1. Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks --------------------------------------------------------------- Mask Value Affecting --------------------------------------------------------------- XkbSymInterpMask (1<<0) Symbol interpretations XkbGroupCompatMask (1<<1) Group maps XkbAllCompatMask (0x3) All compatibility map components free_map indicates whether the XkbCompatMap structure itself should be freed. If free_map is True, which is ignored, all non-NULL compati- bility map components are freed, and the compat field in the XkbDescRec referenced by xkb is set to NULL. STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbCompatMapRec { XkbSymInterpretPtr sym_interpret; /* symbol based key semantics*/ XkbModsRec groups[XkbNumKbdGroups]; /* group => modifier map */ unsigned short num_si; /* # structures used in sym_interpret */ unsigned short size_si; /* # structures allocated in sym_interpret */ } XkbCompatMapRec, *XkbCompatMapPtr; The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec. The component structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb components outlined in Figure 1.1. typedef struct { struct _XDisplay * display; /* connection to X server */ unsigned short flags; /* private to Xkb, do not modify */ unsigned short device_spec; /* device of interest */ KeyCode min_key_code; /* minimum keycode for device */ KeyCode max_key_code; /* maximum keycode for device */ XkbControlsPtr ctrls; /* controls */ XkbServerMapPtr server; /* server keymap */ XkbClientMapPtr map; /* client keymap */ XkbIndicatorPtr indicators; /* indicator map */ XkbNamesPtr names; /* names for all components */ XkbCompatMapPtr compat; /* compatibility map */ XkbGeometryPtr geom; /* physical geometry of keyboard */ } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr; The display field points to an X display structure. The flags field is private to the library: modifying flags may yield unpredictable results. The device_spec field specifies the device identifier of the keyboard input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core keyboard device. The min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard. The other fields specify structure components of the keyboard description and are described in detail in other sections of this document. Table 2 identifies the subsequent sections of this document that discuss the individual components of the XkbDescRec.

These masks and their relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown in Table 3.
