XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS	       XkbGetKeyModifierMap(3)



NAME
       XkbGetKeyModifierMap  -	Update the modifier map for one or more of the
       keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbGetKeyModifierMap (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 keys for which information is desired

       - xkb  keyboard description to update

DESCRIPTION
       The  modmap  entry  of  the client map is an array, indexed by keycode,
       specifying the real modifiers bound to a key. Each entry is a mask com-
       posed of a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal real modifiers: ShiftMask,
       LockMask, ControlMask,  Mod1Mask,  Mod2Mask,  Mod3Mask,	Mod4Mask,  and
       Mod5Mask.  If  a bit is set in a modmap entry, the corresponding key is
       bound to that modifier.

       Pressing or releasing the key bound to a modifier changes the  modifier
       set  and	 unset	state. The particular manner in which the modifier set
       and unset state changes is  determined  by  the	behavior  and  actions
       assigned to the key.

       XkbGetKeyModifierMap  sends  a  request	to the server for the modifier
       mappings for num keys starting with the key whose keycode is first.  It
       waits for a reply and places the results in the xkb->map->modmap array.
       If successful, XkbGetKeyModifier returns Success.

       If the map component of the  xkb	 parameter  has	 not  been  allocated,
       XkbGetKeyModifierMap allocates and initializes it.

       If  a  compatible  version of Xkb is not available in the server or the
       Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, XkbGetKeySyms  returns
       BadAccess.  If any allocation errors occur while obtaining the modifier
       map, XkbGetKeyModifierMap returns BadAlloc.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAccess      The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized

       BadAlloc	      Unable to allocate storage
