XkbIgnoreExtension(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbIgnoreExtension(3)

NAME
XkbIgnoreExtension - Prevents core X library keyboard functions from using the X Keyboard
Extension

SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbIgnoreExtension ( ignore )
Bool *ignore;

ARGUMENTS
ignore True means ignore the extension

DESCRIPTION
If a server supports the Xkb extension, the X library normally implements preXkb keyboard
functions using the Xkb keyboard description and state. The server Xkb keyboard state may
differ from the preXkb keyboard state. This difference does not affect most clients, but
there are exceptions. To allow these clients to work properly, you may instruct the exten-
sion not to use Xkb functionality.

Call XkbIgnoreExtension to prevent core X library keyboard functions from using the X Key-
board Extension. You must call XkbIgnoreExtension before you open a server connection; Xkb
does not provide a way to enable or disable use of the extension once a connection is
established.

XkbIgnoreExtension tells the X library whether to use the X Keyboard Extension on any sub-
sequently opened X display connections. If ignore is True, the library does not initialize
the Xkb extension when it opens a new display. This forces the X server to use compatibil-
ity mode and communicate with the client using only core protocol requests and events. If
ignore is False, the library treats subsequent calls to XOpenDisplay normally and uses Xkb
extension requests, events, and state. Do not explicitly use Xkb on a connection for which
it is disabled. XkbIgnoreExtension returns False if it was unable to apply the ignore
request.

RETURN VALUES
True The XkbIgnoreExtension returns True if

False The XkbIgnoreExtension function returns False if it was unable to apply the
ignore request.
