1. NAME▲
XkbGetKeySyms - Obtain the symbols for a subset of the keys in a keyboard description
2. SYNOPSIS ▲
Status XkbGetKeySyms (Display * dpy , unsigned int first , unsigned int num , XkbDescPtr xkb );
3. 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
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. DIAGNOSTICS ▲
