XkbGetIndicatorState(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetIndicatorState(3)
NAME
XkbGetIndicatorState - Obtains the current state of the keyboard indicators
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetIndicatorState ( display, device_spec, state_return )
Display *display;
unsigned int device_spec;
unsigned int state_return;
ARGUMENTS
- display
connection to the X server
- device_spec
device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd
- state_return
backfilled with a mask of the indicator state
DESCRIPTION
Xkb allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two different meth-
ods. The first method, which is similar to the core X implementation, uses a mask to spec-
ify the indicators. The second method, which is more suitable for applications concerned
with interoperability, uses indicator names. The correspondence between the indicator name
and the bit position in masks is as follows: one of the parameters returned from XkbGet-
NamedIndicators is an index that is the bit position to use in any function call that
requires a mask of indicator bits, as well as the indicator's index into the XkbIndicator-
Rec array of indicator maps.
XkbGetIndicatorState queries the display for the state of the indicators on the device
specified by the device_spec. For each indicator that is "turned on" on the device, the
associated bit is set in state_return. If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is
not available in the server, .I XkbGetIndicatorState returns a BadMatch error. Otherwise,
it sends the request to the X server, places the state of the indicators into
state_return, and returns Success. Thus the value reported by XkbGetIndicatorState is
identical to the value reported by the core protocol.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument
has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
