2. SYNOPSIS ▲

Status XkbGetNames (Display * dpy , unsigned int which , XkbDescPtr Xkb );

3. ARGUMENTS ▲

  • - dpy
        connection to the X server
  • - which
        mask of names or map components to be updated
  • - Xkb
        keyboard description to be updated

4. DESCRIPTION ▲

XkbGetNamesretrieves symbolic names for the components of the keyboard extension from the X server. The whichparameter specifies the name components to be updated in the xkbparameter, and is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in Table 1.

If the namesfield of the keyboard description xkbis NULL, XkbGetNamesallocates and initializes the namescomponent of the keyboard description before obtaining the values specified by which.If the names field ofxkbis not NULL, XkbGetNamesobtains the values specified by whichand copies them into the keyboard description Xkb. If the mapcomponent of the xkbparameter is NULL, XkbGetNamesdoes not retrieve type or shift level names, even if XkbKeyTypeNamesMask or XkbKTLevelNamesMask are set in which. XkbGetNamescan return Success, or BadAlloc, BadLength, BadMatch, and BadImplementation errors. To free symbolic names, use XkbFreeNames.

5. DIAGNOSTICS ▲

BadAlloc

               Unable to allocate storage

BadImplementation

               Invalid reply from server

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
