XkbFreeCompatMap(3)                             XKB FUNCTIONS                            XkbFreeCompatMap(3)



NAME
       XkbFreeCompatMap - Free an entire compatibility map or selected portions of one

SYNOPSIS
       void XkbFreeCompatMap ( xkb, which, free_map )
             XkbDescPtr xkb;
             unsigned int which;
             Bool free_map;

ARGUMENTS
       - xkb  Xkb description in which to free compatibility map

       - which
              mask of compatibility map components to free

       - free_map
              True => free XkbCompatMap structure itself

DESCRIPTION
       which  specifies  the  compatibility  map  components to be freed (see XkbGetCompatMap).  which is an
       inclusive OR of the bits shown in Table 1.


                 Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks
       ---------------------------------------------------------------Mask --------------------------------------------------------------Mask
       Mask                 Value    Affecting
       ---------------------------------------------------------------XkbSymInterpMask --------------------------------------------------------------XkbSymInterpMask
       XkbSymInterpMask     (1<<0)   Symbol interpretations
       XkbGroupCompatMask   (1<<1)   Group maps
       XkbAllCompatMask     (0x3)    All compatibility map components

       free_map indicates whether the XkbCompatMap structure itself should be freed. If  free_map  is  True,
       which  is  ignored,  all non-NULL compatibility map components are freed, and the compat field in the
       XkbDescRec referenced by xkb is set to NULL.

STRUCTURES
           typedef struct _XkbCompatMapRec {
               XkbSymInterpretPtr    sym_interpret;            /* symbol based key semantics*/
               XkbModsRec            groups[XkbNumKbdGroups];  /* group => modifier map */
               unsigned short        num_si;                   /* # structures used in sym_interpret */
               unsigned short        size_si;                  /* # structures allocated in sym_interpret */
           } XkbCompatMapRec, *XkbCompatMapPtr;


       The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec. The  component  structures  in
       the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb components outlined in Figure 1.1.

       typedef struct {
          struct _XDisplay * display;      /* connection to X server */
          unsigned short     flags;        /* private to Xkb, do not modify */
          unsigned short     device_spec;  /* device of interest */
          KeyCode            min_key_code; /* minimum keycode for device */
          KeyCode            max_key_code; /* maximum keycode for device */
          XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;        /* controls */
          XkbServerMapPtr    server;       /* server keymap */
          XkbClientMapPtr    map;          /* client keymap */
          XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /* indicator map */
          XkbNamesPtr        names;        /* names for all components */
          XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;       /* compatibility map */
          XkbGeometryPtr     geom;         /* physical geometry of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The  display field points to an X display structure. The flags field is private to the library: modi-fying modifying
       fying flags may yield unpredictable results. The device_spec field specifies the device identifier of
       the  keyboard  input  device,  or  XkbUseCoreKeyboard,  which specifies the core keyboard device. The
       min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the least and greatest keycode that can be  returned  by
       the  keyboard.   The  other  fields  specify structure components of the keyboard description and are
       described in detail in other sections of this document. Table 2 identifies the subsequent sections of
       this document that discuss the individual components of the XkbDescRec.

       Each structure component has a corresponding mask bit that is used in function calls to indicate that
       the structure should be manipulated in some manner, such as allocating it or freeing it. These  masks
       and their relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown in Table 3.
