XkbGetIndicatorChanges(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetIndicatorChanges(3)NAMEXkbGetIndicatorChanges - Updates a local copy of the keyboard descrip‐
tion with the actual values of one or more calls to XkbNoteIndicator‐
Changes
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetIndicatorChanges ( dpy, xkb, changes, state )
Display *dpy;
XkbDescPtr xkb;
XkbIndicatorChangesPtr changes;
unsigned int state;
ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to the X server
- xkb keyboard description to hold the new values
- changes
indicator maps/state to be obtained from the server
- state
backfilled with the state of the indicators
DESCRIPTION
Whenever an indicator changes state, the server sends XkbIndica‐
torStateNotify events to all interested clients. Similarly, whenever an
indicator's map changes, the server sends XkbIndicatorMapNotify events
to all interested clients.
To receive XkbIndicatorStateNotify events, use XkbSelectEvents with
both the bits_to_change and values_for_bits parameters containing
XkbIndicatorStateNotifyMask. To receive XkbIndicatorMapNotify events,
use XkbSelectEvents with XkbIndicatorMapNotifyMask.
To receive events for only specific indicators, use XkbSelectEventDe‐
tails. Set the event_type parameter to XkbIndicatorStateNotify or
XkbIndicatorMapNotify, and set both the bits_to_change and val‐
ues_for_bits detail parameters to a mask where each bit specifies one
indicator, turning on those bits that specify the indicators for which
you want to receive events.
Both types of indicator events use the same structure:
typedef struct _XkbIndicatorNotify {
int type; /∗ Xkb extension base event code */
unsigned long serial; /∗ X server serial number for event */
Bool send_event; /∗ True => synthetically generated */
Display * display; /∗ server connection where event generated */
Time time; /∗ server time when event generated */
int xkb_type; /∗ specifies state or map notify */
int device; /∗ Xkb device ID, will not be XkbUseCoreKbd */
unsigned int changed; /∗ mask of indicators with new state or map */
unsigned int state; /∗ current state of all indicators */
} XkbIndicatorNotifyEvent;
xkb_type is either XkbIndicatorStateNotify or XkbIndicatorMapNotify,
depending on whether the event is a kbIndicatorStateNotify event or
kbIndicatorMapNotify event.
The changed parameter is a mask that is the bitwise inclusive OR of the
indicators that have changed. If the event is of type XkbIndicatorMap‐
Notify, changed reports the maps that changed. If the event is of type
XkbIndicatorStateNotify, changed reports the indicators that have
changed state. state is a mask that specifies the current state of all
indicators, whether they have changed or not, for both XkbIndica‐
torStateNotify and IndicatorMapNotify events.
When your client application receives either a XkbIndicatorStateNotify
event or XkbIndicatorMapNotify event, you can note the changes in a
changes structure by calling XkbNoteIndicatorChanges.
XkbGetIndicatorChanges examines the changes parameter, pulls over the
necessary information from the server, and copies the results into the
xkb keyboard description. If any bits are set in the state_changes
field of changes, XkbGetIndicatorChanges also places the state of those
indicators in state. If the indicators field of xkb is NULL,
XkbGetIndicatorChanges allocates and initializes it. To free the indi‐
cators field, use XkbFreeIndicators.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadImplementation
Invalid reply from server
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the
server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
otherwise invalid
