DMXGetInputAttributes(3X)                                                          DMXGetInputAttributes(3X)



NAME
       DMXGetInputAttributes - determine input device attributes

SYNOPSIS
       #include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>

       Bool DMXGetInputAttributes(Display *dpy,
                                  int id,
                                  DMXInputAttributes *attr);

DESCRIPTION
       DMXGetInputAttributes()  returns information about the input device specified with id.  This informa-tion information
       tion cannot be obtained from the XListInputDeivices(3X) call.  id is the same as  that  used  by  the
       XListInputDevices(3X) call, and must be in the range 0 to one less than the value returned by DMXGet-InputCount(3X), DMXGetInputCount(3X),
       InputCount(3X), inclusive.

       The DMXInputAttributes structure is:

       typedef struct {
           DMXInputEnum inputType;
           int          physicalScreen;
           int          physicalId;
           Bool         isCore;
           Bool         sendsCore;
           const char   *name;
           Bool         detached;
       } DMXInputAttributes;

       The value of inputType will always be valid, and will have one of the following values, depending  on
       the type of input: DMXLocalInputType ,  DMXConsoleInputType , or DMXBackendInputType .

       For local devices, all other fields returned, except isCore  and  sendsCore , are invalid.

       For  console  devices, physicalScreen  and  physicalID will be invalid, and name will return the name
       of the X server on which the console window is displayed.

       For back-end devices, physicalScreen will identify the back-end display and can be used as  an  argu-ment argument
       ment  to  DMXGetScreenAttributes(3X) to obtain more information; physicalId will be the XInput device
       id on the back-end X server; and name will be invalid (since  it  does  not  provide  any  additional
       information that cannot be obtained with DMXGetScreenAttributes(3X)).

       If  isCore is True, then this device is active as a true core input device and will send core events.
       If sendsCore is True, then this device is an XInput extension device, but sends core  events  instead
       of extension events.  This behavior is different from that of XFree86 or Xorg, where XInput extension
       devices may send both extension events and core events.

       If detached is True, then this device has been detached and is no longer producing input events.  The
       device may be reattached using DMXAddInput(3X).

RETURN VALUE
       DMXGetInputAttributes() returns True unless there is a protocol error.

       DMXGetInputAttributes() can generate BadValue (if the value of id is out of range).
