XkbGetControls(3)                               XKB FUNCTIONS                              XkbGetControls(3)



NAME
       XkbGetControls - Finds the current state of Xkb server controls

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbGetControls ( display, which, xkb )
             Display *display;
             unsigned long which;
             XkbDescPtr xkb;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
              connection to X server

       - which
              mask of controls requested

       - xkb  keyboard description for controls information

DESCRIPTION
       XkbGetControls  queries the server for the requested control information, waits for a reply, and then
       copies the server's values for the requested information into the ctrls structure of  the  xkb  argu-ment. argument.
       ment.  Only  those components specified by the which parameter are copied. Valid values for which are
       any combination of the masks listed in Table 1 that have "ok" in the which column.

       Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select controls for modification
       and to enable and disable the control. Note that the same mask bit is used to specify general modifi-cations modifications
       cations to the parameters used to configure the control (which), and to enable and disable  the  con-trol control
       trol (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in Table 1 (no "ok" in column) are for controls that have no con-figurable configurable
       figurable attributes; and for controls that are not boolean controls and therefore cannot be  enabled
       or disabled.

       If xkb->ctrls is NULL, XkbGetControls allocates and initializes it before obtaining the values speci-fied specified
       fied by which.  If xkb->ctrls is not NULL, XkbGetControls modifies only those portions of  xkb->ctrls
       corresponding to the values specified by which.

       XkbGetControls returns Success if successful; otherwise, it returns BadAlloc if it cannot obtain suf-ficient sufficient
       ficient storage, BadMatch if xkb is NULL or which is empty, or BadImplementation.

       To free the ctrls member of a keyboard description, use XkbFreeControls.

       The num_groups field in the ctrls structure is always filled  in  by  XkbGetControls,  regardless  of
       which bits are selected by which.

RETURN VALUES
       Success        The XkbGetControls function returns Success if successful.

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
