XkbFreeServerMap(3)                             XKB FUNCTIONS                            XkbFreeServerMap(3)



NAME
       XkbFreeServerMap - Free memory used by the server member of an XkbDescRec structure

SYNOPSIS
       void XkbFreeServerMap ( xkb, which, free_all )
             XkbDescPtr xkb;
             unsigned int which;
             Bool free_all;

ARGUMENTS
       - xkb  keyboard description containing server map to free

       - which
              mask identifying components of map to free

       - free_all
              True => free all server map components and server itself

DESCRIPTION
       The  XkbFreeServerMap  function frees the specified components of server map in the XkbDescRec struc-ture structure
       ture specified by the xkb parameter and sets the corresponding structure component  values  to  NULL.
       The  which parameter specifies a combination of the server map masks and is a bitwise inclusive OR of
       the masks listed in Table 1. If free_all is True, which is ignored and XkbFreeServerMap  frees  every
       non-NULL structure component in the server map, frees the XkbServerMapRec structure referenced by the
       server member of the xkb parameter, and sets the server member to NULL.

                                   map.

       XkbKeyBehaviorsMask         The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                                   of  the  xkb parameter are used to allo-cate allocate

                                   map.

       XkbVirtualModMapMask        The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                                   of the xkb parameter are used  to  allo-cate allocate
                                   cate  the  vmodmap  field  of the server
                                   map.


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

       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.

       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 2.


               Table 2 Mask Bits for XkbDescRec
       --------------------------------------------------Mask -------------------------------------------------Mask
       Mask Bit               XkbDescRec Field   Value
       --------------------------------------------------XkbControlsMask -------------------------------------------------XkbControlsMask
       XkbControlsMask        ctrls              (1L<<0)
       XkbServerMapMask       server             (1L<<1)
       XkbIClientMapMask      map                (1L<<2)
       XkbIndicatorMapMask    indicators         (1L<<3)
       XkbNamesMask           names              (1L<<4)
       XkbCompatMapMask       compat             (1L<<5)
       XkbGeometryMask        geom               (1L<<6)
       XkbAllComponentsMask   All Fields         (0x7f)

       The  Xkb  server map contains the information the server needs to interpret key events and is of type
       XkbServerMapRec:

       #define XkbNumVirtualMods          16

       typedef struct {                    /* Server Map */
           unsigned short    num_acts;     /* # of occupied entries in acts */
           unsigned short    size_acts;    /* # of entries in acts */
           XkbAction *       acts;         /* linear 2d tables of key actions, 1 per keycode */
           XkbBehavior *     behaviors;    /* key behaviors,1 per keycode */
           unsigned short *  key_acts;     /* index into acts, 1 per keycode */
           unsigned char *   explicit;     /* explicit overrides of core remapping, 1 per key */
           unsigned char     vmods[XkbNumVirtualMods]; /* real mods bound to virtual mods */
           unsigned short *  vmodmap;      /* virtual mods bound to key, 1 per keycode*/
       } XkbServerMapRec, *XkbServerMapPtr;
