XCHANGEKEYBOARDDEVIC(3)		     libXi	       XCHANGEKEYBOARDDEVIC(3)

NAME
       XChangeKeyboardDevice - change which device is used as the X keyboard

SYNTAX
       #include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>

       Status XChangeKeyboardDevice(Display *display, XDevice*device);

ARGUMENTS
       display
	  Specifies the connection to the X server.

       device
	  Specifies the device to be used as the X keyboard.

DESCRIPTION
       The XChangeKeyboardDevice request causes the server to use the
       specified device as the X keyboard. The device must have been
       previously opened by the requesting client via XOpenDevice or a
       BadDevice error will result. The device must support input class Keys,
       or a BadMatch error will result. If the server implementation does not
       support using the requested device as the X keyboard, a BadDevice error
       will result.

       If the specified device is grabbed by another client, AlreadyGrabbed is
       returned. If the specified device is frozen by a grab on another
       device, GrabFrozen is returned. If the request is successful, Success
       is returned.

       If the request succeeds, a ChangeDeviceNotify event is sent to all
       clients that have selected that event. A MappingNotify event with
       request = MappingKeyboard is sent to all clients. The specified device
       becomes the X keyboard and the old X keyboard becomes accessible
       through the input extension protocol requests.

       XChangeKeyboardDevice can generate a BadDevice or a BadMatch error.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadDevice
	  An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not
	  exist, has not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDevice, or
	  is already one of the core X device (pointer or keyboard). This
	  error may also occur if the server implementation does not support
	  using the specified device as the X keyboard.

       BadMatch
	  This error may occur if an XChangeKeyboardDevice request was made
	  specifying a device that has no keys.
