XkbGetDeviceInfo(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS		   XkbGetDeviceInfo(3)

NAME
       XkbGetDeviceInfo	 - Determine whether the X server allows Xkb access to
       particular capabilities of input devices other than  the	 core  X  key‐
       board, or to determine the status of indicator maps, indicator names or
       button actions on a non-KeyClass extension device

SYNOPSIS
       XkbDeviceInfoPtr XkbGetDeviceInfo (Display *dpy,	 unsigned  int	which,
	      unsigned	int  device_spec, unsigned int ind_class, unsigned int
	      ind_id);

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to X server

       - which
	      mask indicating information to return

       - device_spec
	      device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - ind_class
	      feedback class for indicator requests

       - ind_id
	      feedback ID for indicator requests

DESCRIPTION
       To determine whether the X server allows Xkb access to particular capa‐
       bilities	 of input devices other than the core X keyboard, or to deter‐
       mine the status of indicator maps, indicator names or button actions on
       a non-KeyClass extension device, use XkbGetDeviceInfo.

       XkbGetDeviceInfo	 returns  information about the input device specified
       by device_spec.	Unlike the device_spec parameter  of  most  Xkb	 func‐
       tions, device_spec does not need to be a keyboard device. It must, how‐
       ever, indicate either the core keyboard or a valid  X  Input  Extension
       device.

       The  which  parameter  is  a mask specifying optional information to be
       returned. It is an inclusive OR of one or more of the values from Table
       1  and  causes  the returned XkbDeviceInfoRec to contain values for the
       corresponding fields specified in the table.

       XkbXI_KeyboardsMask			     (1L <<0) Clients can use all
							      Xkb requests and events
							      with KeyClass devices
							      supported by the input
							      device extension.

       XkbXI_ButtonActionsMask	     num_btns	     (1L <<1) Clients can assign key
				     btn_acts		      actions to buttons
							      non-KeyClass input
							      extension devices.

       XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask	     leds->names     (1L <<2) Clients can assign
							      names to indicators on
							      non-KeyClass input
							      extension devices.

       XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask	     leds->maps	     (1L <<3) Clients can assign
							      indicator maps to
							      indicators on
							      non-KeyClass input
							      extension devices.

       XkbXI_IndicatorStateMask	     leds->state     (1L <<4) Clients can request
							      the status of indicators
							      on non-KeyClass input
							      extension devices.

				     by Value column	      XkbXI_UnsupportedFeaturesMask
				     masks

       The XkbDeviceInfoRec returned by XkbGetDeviceInfo always has values for
       name  (may  be  a  null	string,	 ""),  type,  supported,  unsupported,
       has_own_state, dflt_kbd_fd, and dflt_kbd_fb.  Other fields  are	filled
       in as specified by which.

       Upon  return,  the  supported  field will be set to the inclusive OR of
       zero or more bits from Table 1; each bit set indicates an optional  Xkb
       extension  device feature supported by the server implementation, and a
       client may modify the associated behavior.

       If the XkbButtonActionsMask bit is set in which,	 the  XkbDeviceInfoRec
       returned	 will  have  the button actions (btn_acts field) filled in for
       all buttons.

       If which includes one of the bits in XkbXI_IndicatorsMask, the feedback
       class  of  the indicators must be specified in ind_class, and the feed‐
       back ID of the indicators must be specified in ind_id.  If the  request
       does not include any of the bits in XkbXI_IndicatorsMask, the ind_class
       and ind_id parameters are ignored. The class and ID can be obtained via
       the input device extension XListInputDevices request.

       If  any of the XkbXI_IndicatorsMask bits are set in which, the XkbDevi‐
       ceInfoRec returned will have filled in the portions of the leds	struc‐
       ture  corresponding  to	the indicator feedback identified by ind_class
       and ind_id.  The leds vector of the XkbDeviceInfoRec  is	 allocated  if
       necessary and sz_leds and num_leds filled in. The led_class, led_id and
       phys_indicators fields of the leds entry corresponding to ind_class and
       ind_id  are  always  filled in. If which contains XkbXI_IndicatorNames‐
       Mask, the names_present and names fields of the leds  structure	corre‐
       sponding	 to  ind_class	and  ind_id  are  returned.  If which contains
       XkbXI_IndicatorStateMask, the corresponding state field is updated.  If
       which  contains	XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask,  the  maps_present  and  maps
       fields are updated.

       Xkb provides convenience functions to request subsets of	 the  informa‐
       tion  available via XkbGetDeviceInfo.  These convenience functions mir‐
       ror some of the mask bits. The functions all take  an  XkbDeviceInfoPtr
       as an input argument and operate on the X Input Extension device speci‐
       fied by the device_spec field of the structure. Only the parts  of  the
       structure indicated in the function description are updated. The XkbDe‐
       viceInfoRec structure used in the function  call	 can  be  obtained  by
       calling XkbGetDeviceInfo or can be allocated by calling XkbAllocDevice‐
       Info.

STRUCTURES
       Information about X Input Extension devices is  transferred  between  a
       client program and the Xkb extension in an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure:

       typedef struct {
	   char *		name;	       /∗ name for device */
	   Atom			type;	       /∗ name for class of devices */
	   unsigned short	device_spec;   /∗ device of interest */
	   Bool			has_own_state; /∗ True=>this device has its own state */
	   unsigned short	supported;     /∗ bits indicating supported capabilities */
	   unsigned short	unsupported;   /∗ bits indicating unsupported capabilities */
	   unsigned short	num_btns;      /∗ number of entries in btn_acts */
	   XkbAction *		btn_acts;      /∗ button actions */
	   unsigned short	sz_leds;       /∗ total number of entries in LEDs vector */
	   unsigned short	num_leds;      /∗ number of valid entries in LEDs vector */
	   unsigned short	dflt_kbd_fb;   /∗ input extension ID of default (core kbd) indicator */
	   unsigned short	dflt_led_fb;   /∗ input extension ID of default indicator feedback */
	   XkbDeviceLedInfoPtr	leds;	       /∗ LED descriptions */
       } XkbDeviceInfoRec, *XkbDeviceInfoPtr;
