XKB FUNCTIONS                          XkbUpdateMapFromCore(3x11)



NAME
     XkbUpdateMapFromCore -  Update a local Xkb keyboard  map  to
     reflect the mapping expressed by a core format mapping

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

     Bool   XkbUpdateMapFromCore   (XkbDescPtr    xkb,    KeyCode
          first_key,   int   num_keys,   int   map_width,  KeySym
          *core_keysyms, XkbChangesPtr changes);

ARGUMENTS
     - xkb
          keyboard description to update

     - first_key
          keycode of first key description to update

     - num_keys
          number of key descriptions to update

     - map_width
          width of core protocol keymap

     - core_keysyms
          symbols in core protocol keymap

     - changes
          backfilled with changes made to Xkb

DESCRIPTION
     Xkb provides several functions that make it easier to  apply
     the  compatibility  map  to configure a client-side Xkb key-
     board mapping, given a core protocol representation of  part
     or  all  of  a  keyboard  mapping.  Obtain  a  core protocol
     representation of a keyboard mapping from an  actual  server
     (by using XGetKeyboardMapping, for example), a data file, or
     some other source.

     XkbUpdateMapFromCore interprets input  argument  information
     representing a keyboard map in core format to update the Xkb
     keyboard description passed in xkb. Only a  portion  of  the
     Xkb  map is updated - the portion corresponding to keys with
     keycodes in the range first_key through first_key + num_keys
     -  1. If XkbUpdateMapFromCore is being called in response to
     a MappingNotify event, first_key and num_keys  are  reported
     in   the  MappingNotify  event.  core_keysyms  contains  the
     keysyms corresponding to the keycode range being updated, in
     core  keyboard description order. map_width is the number of
     keysyms per key in core_keysyms. Thus, the  first  map_width
     entries  in  core_keysyms  are  for  the  key  with  keycode
     first_key, the next map_width entries are for key  first_key

     + 1, and so on.

     In addition to modifying the Xkb keyboard  mapping  in  xkb,
     XkbUpdateMapFromCore  backfills  the changes structure whose
     address is passed in changes to indicate  the  modifications
     that were made. You may then use changes in subsequent calls
     such as XkbSetMap, to propagate the local modifications to a
     server.
