XkbGetKeyTypes(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS						 XkbGetKeyTypes(3)

NAME

       XkbGetKeyTypes - Obtain the list of available key types in the server's keyboard mapping

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetKeyTypes ( dpy, first, num, xkb )
	     Display * dpy;
	     unsigned int first;
	     unsigned int num;
	     XkbDescPtr xkb;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - first
	      index to first type to get, 0 => 1st type

       - num  number of key types to be returned

       - xkb  keyboard description containing client map to update

DESCRIPTION

       XkbGetKeyTypes  queries the server for the desired types, waits for a reply, and returns the desired types in the xkb->map->types.  If suc-
       cessful, it returns Success.

       XkbGetKeyTypes returns BadAccess if the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized and BadValue if the combination of  first  and  num
       results in numbers out of valid range.

       NOTE:  XkbGetKeyTypes is used to obtain descriptions of the key types themselves, not the key types bound to individual keys. To obtain the
       key types bound to an individual key, refer to the key_sym_map field of the client map.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAccess      The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized

       BadValue       An argument is out of range

XkbGetKeySyms(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS						  XkbGetKeySyms(3)

NAME

       XkbGetKeySyms - Obtain the symbols for a subset of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetKeySyms ( dpy, first, num, xkb )
	     Display * dpy;
	     unsigned int first;
	     unsigned int num;
	     XkbDescPtr xkb;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - first
	      keycode of first key to get

       - num  number of keycodes for which syms desired

       - xkb  Xkb description to be updated

DESCRIPTION

       XkbGetKeySyms  sends  a	request to the server to obtain the set of keysyms bound to num keys starting with the key whose keycode is first.
       It waits for a reply and returns the keysyms in the map.syms field of xkb.  If successful, XkbGetKeySyms returns Success. The xkb parameter
       must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.

       If the client map in the xkb parameter has not been allocated, XkbGetKeySyms allocates and initializes it before obtaining the symbols.

       If a compatible version of Xkb is not available in the server or the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, XkbGetKeySyms returns
       BadAccess. If num is less than 1 or  greater  than  XkbMaxKeyCount,  XkbGetKeySyms  returns  BadValue.  If  any	allocation  errors  occur,
       XkbGetKeySyms returns BadAlloc.

RETURN VALUES

       Success	      The  XkbGetKeySyms function returns Success if it gets a reply to a request to the server to obtain the set of keysyms bound
		      to num keys starting with the key whose keycode is first.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAccess      The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
