XKB FUNCTIONS                                 XkbGetKeySyms(3x11)



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

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     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, XkbGet-
     KeySyms 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 Bad-
     Value. 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  ini-
                    tialized
