XkbGetKeySyms(3)                                XKB FUNCTIONS                               XkbGetKeySyms(3)



NAME
       XkbGetKeySyms - Obtain the symbols for a subset of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbGetKeySyms ( dpy, first, num, xkb )
             Display * dpy;
             unsigned int first;
             unsigned int num;
             XkbDescPtr xkb;

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to X server

       - first
              keycode of first key to get

       - num  number of keycodes for which syms desired

       - xkb  Xkb description to be updated

DESCRIPTION
       XkbGetKeySyms  sends  a request to the server to obtain the set of keysyms bound to num keys starting
       with the key whose keycode is first.  It waits for a reply and returns the keysyms  in  the  map.syms
       field of xkb.  If successful, XkbGetKeySyms returns Success. The xkb parameter must be a pointer to a
       valid Xkb keyboard description.

       If the client map in the xkb parameter has not been allocated, XkbGetKeySyms allocates  and  initial-izes initializes
       izes it before obtaining the symbols.

       If a compatible version of Xkb is not available in the server or the Xkb extension has not been prop-erly properly
       erly initialized, XkbGetKeySyms returns BadAccess. If num is less than 1 or greater  than  XkbMaxKey-Count, XkbMaxKeyCount,
       Count,  XkbGetKeySyms  returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, XkbGetKeySyms returns BadAl-loc. BadAlloc.
