SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbGetNames ( dpy, which, Xkb )
             Display * dpy;
             unsigned int which;
             XkbDescPtr Xkb;

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to the X server

       - which
              mask of names or map components to be updated

       - Xkb  keyboard description to be updated

DESCRIPTION

       If the names field of the keyboard description xkb is NULL, XkbGetNames allocates and initializes the
       names component of the keyboard description before obtaining the values specified by which.   If  the
       names  field  of  xkb  is not NULL, XkbGetNames obtains the values specified by which and copies them
       into the keyboard description Xkb.

       If the map component of the xkb parameter is NULL, XkbGetNames does not retrieve type or shift  level
       names, even if XkbKeyTypeNamesMask or XkbKTLevelNamesMask are set in which.

       XkbGetNames can return Success, or BadAlloc, BadLength, BadMatch, and BadImplementation errors.

       To free symbolic names, use XkbFreeNames.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadImplementation
                      Invalid reply from server

       BadLength      The  length  of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain
                      the arguments

       BadMatch       A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has correct
                      type and range, but is otherwise invalid
