unsigned int first,
unsigned int num,
XkbDescPtr xkb);
ARGUMENTS
- - dpy

DESCRIPTION
XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap
sends a request to the server to obtain the virtual modifier mappings for
num
keys on the keyboard starting with key
first.
It waits for a reply and returns the virtual modifier mappings in the
server->vmodmap
array of
xkb.
If successful,
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
returns Success. The
xkb
parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.
If the
server
map in the
xkb
parameter has not been allocated,
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
allocates and initializes it before obtaining the virtual modifier mappings.
If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension
has not been properly initialized,
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
returns BadMatch. If
num
is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount,
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur,
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
returns BadAlloc.
RETURN VALUES
- Success
-
The
XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap
function returns Success following a successful reply from the server to obtain
the virtual modifier mappings for
num
keys on the keyboard starting with key
first.
