num, XkbDescPtr xkb);

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 allocated, Xk-
bGetKeySyms 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 initialized, XkbGetKeySyms returns
BadAccess. If num is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount, Xk-
bGetKeySyms returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, Xk-
bGetKeySyms 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.
