XkbGetKeyActions(3)


NAME

   XkbGetKeyActions - Update the actions (the key_acts array) for a subset
   of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

   - dpy  connection to X server

   - first
          keycode of first key of interest

   - num  number of keys desired

   - xkb  pointer to keyboard description where result is stored

DESCRIPTION

   XkbGetKeyActions  sends  a  request to the server to obtain the actions
   for num keys on the keyboard starting with key first.  It waits  for  a
   reply and returns the actions in the server->key_acts field of xkb.  If
   successful, XkbGetKeyActions returns Success. The xkb parameter must be
   a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.

   If  the  server  map,  in  the  xkb  parameter, has not been allocated,
   XkbGetKeyActions allocates and  initializes  it  before  obtaining  the
   actions.

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

DIAGNOSTICS

   BadAccess      The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized

   BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

   BadValue       An argument is out of range
