XkbGetKeyTypes(3)


NAME

   XkbGetKeyTypes - Obtain the list of available key types in the server's
   keyboard mapping

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

   - dpy  connection to X server

   - first
          index to first type to get, 0 => 1st type

   - num  number of key types to be returned

   - xkb  keyboard description containing client map to update

DESCRIPTION

   XkbGetKeyTypes  queries  the  server for the desired types, waits for a
   reply, and returns  the  desired  types  in  the  xkb->map->types.   If
   successful, it returns Success.

   XkbGetKeyTypes  returns  BadAccess  if  the  Xkb extension has not been
   properly initialized and BadValue if the combination of first  and  num
   results in numbers out of valid range.

   NOTE:  XkbGetKeyTypes  is  used to obtain descriptions of the key types
   themselves, not the key types bound to individual keys. To  obtain  the
   key types bound to an individual key, refer to the key_sym_map field of
   the client map.

DIAGNOSTICS

   BadAccess      The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized

   BadValue       An argument is out of range
