XkbGetNamedIndicator(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetNamedIndicator(3)
NAME
XkbGetNamedIndicator - Look up the indicator map and other information for an indicator by
name
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbGetNamedIndicator ( dpy, dev_spec, name, ndx_rtrn, state_rtrn, map_rtrn, real_rtrn
)
Display *dpy;
unsigned int dev_spec;
Atom name;
int *ndx_rtrn;
Bool *state_rtrn;
XkbIndicatorMapPtr map_rtrn;
Bool *real_rtrn;
ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to the X server
- dev_spec
keyboard device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd
- name name of the indicator to be retrieved
- ndx_rtrn
backfilled with the index of the retrieved indicator
- state_rtrn
backfilled with the current state of the retrieved indicator
- map_rtrn
backfilled with the mapping for the retrieved indicator
- real_rtrn
backfilled with True if the named indicator is real (physical)
DESCRIPTION
Xkb also allows applications to refer to indicators by name. Use XkbGetNames to get the
indicator names. Using names eliminates the need for hard-coding bitmask values for par-
ticular keyboards. For example, instead of using vendor-specific constants such as
WSKBLed_ScrollLock mask on Digital workstations or XLED_SCROLL_LOCK on Sun workstations,
you can instead use XkbGetNamedIndicator to look up information on the indicator named
"Scroll Lock."
If the device specified by device_spec has an indicator named name, XkbGetNamedIndicator
returns True and populates the rest of the parameters with information about the indica-
tor. Otherwise, XkbGetNamedIndicator returns False.
The ndx_rtrn field returns the zero-based index of the named indicator. This index 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 XkbIndicatorRec array of indicator maps. state_rtrn
returns the current state of the named indicator (True = on, False = off). map_rtrn
returns the indicator map for the named indicator. In addition, if the indicator is mapped
to a physical LED, the real_rtrn parameter is set to True.
Each of the " _rtrn " arguments is optional; you can pass NULL for any unneeded " _rtrn "
arguments.
RETURN VALUES
True The XkbGetNamedIndicator function returns True if the device specified by
device_spec has an indicator named name.
False The XkbGetNamedIndicator function returns False if the device specified by
device_spec does not have an indicator named name.
