XkbKeysymToModifiers(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbKeysymToModifiers(3)

NAME

       XkbKeysymToModifiers - Finds the set of modifiers bound to a particular keysym on the core keyboard

SYNOPSIS

       unsigned int XkbKeysymToModifiers ( dpy, ks )
	     Display *dpy;
	     KeySym ks;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - ks   keysym of interest

DESCRIPTION

       XkbKeysymToModifiers  finds  the  set of modifiers currently bound to the keysym ks on the core keyboard. The value returned is the mask of
       modifiers bound to the keysym ks.  If no modifiers are bound to the keysym, XkbKeysymToModifiers returns zero; otherwise,  it  returns  the
       inclusive OR of zero or more of the following: ShiftMask, ControlMask, LockMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask, Mod4Mask, and Mod5Mask.

XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3)

NAME

       XkbGetKeyModifierMap - Update the modifier map for one or more of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetKeyModifierMap ( 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 keys for which information is desired

       - xkb  keyboard description to update

DESCRIPTION

       The modmap entry of the client map is an array, indexed by keycode, specifying the real modifiers bound to a key. Each entry is a mask com-
       posed of a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal real modifiers: ShiftMask, LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask, Mod4Mask,  and
       Mod5Mask. If a bit is set in a modmap entry, the corresponding key is bound to that modifier.

       Pressing or releasing the key bound to a modifier changes the modifier set and unset state. The particular manner in which the modifier set
       and unset state changes is determined by the behavior and actions assigned to the key.

       XkbGetKeyModifierMap sends a request to the server for the modifier mappings for num keys starting with the key whose keycode is first.	It
       waits for a reply and places the results in the xkb->map->modmap array. If successful, XkbGetKeyModifier returns Success.

       If the map component of the xkb parameter has not been allocated, XkbGetKeyModifierMap allocates and initializes it.

       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 any allocation errors occur while obtaining the modifier map, XkbGetKeyModifierMap returns BadAlloc.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAccess      The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage
