XkbAllocServerMap(3)
NAME
XkbAllocServerMap - Allocate and initialize an empty server map description record
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocServerMap (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, unsigned
int count_acts);
ARGUMENTS
- xkb keyboard description in which to allocate server map
- which
mask selecting map components to allocate
- count_acts
value of num_acts field in map to be allocated
DESCRIPTION
XkbAllocServerMap allocates and initializes an empty server map in the
server field of the keyboard description specified by xkb. The which
parameter specifies the particular components of the server map
structure to allocate, as specified in Table 1.
Table 1 XkbAllocServerMap Masks
Mask Effect
XkbExplicitComponentsMask The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
of the xkb parameter are used to
allocate the explicit field of the
server map.
XkbKeyActionsMask The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
of the xkb parameter are used to
allocate the key_acts field of the
server map. The count_acts parameter is
used to allocate the acts field of the
server map.
XkbKeyBehaviorsMask The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
of the xkb parameter are used to
allocate the behaviors field of the
server map.
XkbVirtualModMapMask The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
of the xkb parameter are used to
allocate the vmodmap field of the server
map.
If the server map of the keyboard description is not NULL and any
fields are already allocated in the server map, XkbAllocServerMap does
not overwrite the existing values. The only exception is with the acts
array. If the count_acts parameter is greater than the current num_acts
field of the server map, XkbAllocServerMap resizes the acts array and
resets the num_acts field accordingly.
If XkbAllocServerMap is successful, it returns Success. Otherwise, it
can return either BadMatch or BadAlloc errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the
server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
otherwise invalid
BadValue An argument is out of range
NOTES
The min_key_code and max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter must be legal values. If they are not valid, XkbAllocServerMap returns BadValue.
