XkbGetKeySyms(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetKeySyms(3)

NAME
       XkbGetKeySyms  -  Obtain the symbols for a subset of the keys in a key‐
       board description

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbGetKeySyms (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 allocated,
       XkbGetKeySyms allocates and initializes it before  obtaining  the  sym‐
       bols.

       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,
       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

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
