XkbGetCompatMap(3)               XKB FUNCTIONS              XkbGetCompatMap(3)

NAME
       XkbGetCompatMap  -  Fetch  any combination of the current compatibility
       map components from the server

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbGetCompatMap (Display *display, unsigned  int  which,  XkbDe-
              scRec *xkb);

ARGUMENTS
       display
              connection to server

       which  mask of compatibility map components to fetch

       xkb    keyboard description where results placed

DESCRIPTION
       When another client modifies the compatibility map, you are notified if
       you have selected for XkbCompatMapNotify  events.   XkbGetCompatMap  is
       particularly  useful  when you receive an event of this type, as it al-
       lows you to update your program's version of the compatibility  map  to
       match  the modified version now in the server. If your program is deal-
       ing with multiple servers and needs to configure them all in a  similar
       manner,  the updated compatibility map may be used to reconfigure other
       servers.

       XkbGetCompatMap fetches the components of the compatibility map  speci-
       fied  in  which from the server specified by display and places them in
       the compat structure of the keyboard description xkb.  Valid values for
       which are an inclusive OR of the values shown in Table 1.

                 Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Mask                 Value    Affecting
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       XkbSymInterpMask     (1<<0)   Symbol interpretations
       XkbGroupCompatMask   (1<<1)   Group maps
       XkbAllCompatMask     (0x3)    All compatibility map components

       If  no  compatibility map structure is allocated in xkb upon entry, Xk-
       bGetCompatMap allocates one. If one already exists,  its  contents  are
       overwritten with the returned results.

       XkbGetCompatMap  fetches  compatibility  map information for the device
       specified by the device_spec field of xkb.  Unless  you  have  specifi-
       cally  modified this field, it is the default keyboard device.  XkbGet-
       CompatMap returns Success if successful, BadAlloc if it  is  unable  to
       obtain  necessary  storage  for either the return values or work space,
       BadMatch if the dpy field of the xkb argument is non-NULL and does  not
       match  the  display  argument,  and  BadLength under certain conditions
       caused by server or Xkb implementation errors.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       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
