XkbGetKeySyms(3)          XKB FUNCTIONS          XkbGetKeySyms(3)



NAME
       XkbGetKeySyms  -  Obtain  the  symbols for a subset of the
       keys in a keyboard description

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

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

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 allo-
       cated, 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 initial-
       ized, XkbGetKeySyms returns BadAccess. If num is less than
       1 or greater than  XkbMaxKeyCount,  XkbGetKeySyms  returns
       BadValue.  If  any  allocation errors occur, XkbGetKeySyms
       returns BadAlloc.

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.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAccess      The Xkb extension  has  not  been  properly
                      initialized

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
