XkbSetDeviceInfo \- Modify some or all of the characteristics of an X Input
Extension device
.SH SYNOPSIS

.BI "unsigned int " "which" "\^,"
.BI "XkbDeviceInfoPtr " "device_info" "\^);"

.SH ARGUMENTS

.TP
.I \- which

.TP
.I \- device_info
structure defining the device and modifications
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
To change characteristics of an X Input Extension device in the server, first
modify a local copy of the device structure and then use either
.I XkbSetDeviceInfo,
or, to save network traffic, use an XkbDeviceChangesRec structure and call
.I XkbChangeDeviceInfo
to download the changes to the server.
.I XkbSetDeviceInfo
sends a request to the server to modify the characteristics of the device
specified in the
.I device_info
structure. The particular characteristics modified are identified by the bits
set in
.I which
and take their values from the relevant fields in
device_info (see Table 1). XkbSetDeviceInfo returns True if the request was
successfully sent to the server. If the X server implementation does not allow
interaction between the X input extension and the Xkb Extension, the function
does nothing and returns False.

XkbXI_KeyboardsMask (1L <<0) Clients can use all

non-KeyClass input
extension devices.
XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask leds->names (1L <<2) Clients can assign

XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask leds->maps (1L <<3) Clients can assign
indicator maps to
indicators on
non-KeyClass input
extension devices.

the status of indicators
on non-KeyClass input
extension devices.

.fi
The
.I which
parameter specifies which aspects of the device should be changed and is a
bitmask composed of an inclusive OR or one or more of the following bits:
XkbXI_ButtonActionsMask, XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask, XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask. If
the features requested to be manipulated in
.I which
are valid for the device, but the server does not support assignment of one or
more of them, that particular portion of the request is ignored.
If the device specified in
.I device_info->device_spec
does not contain buttons and a request affecting buttons is made, or the device
does not contain indicators and a request affecting indicators is made, a
BadMatch protocol error results.
If the XkbXI_ButtonActionsMask bit is set in the
.I supported
mask returned by
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo,
the Xkb extension allows applications to assign key actions to buttons on input
extension devices other than the core keyboard device. If the
XkbXI_ButtonActionsMask is set in
.I which,
the actions for all buttons specified in
.I device_info
are set to the XkbActions specified in
.I device_info->btn_acts.
If the number of buttons requested to be updated is not valid for the device,
.I XkbSetDeviceInfo
returns False and a BadValue protocol error results.
If the XkbXI_IndicatorMaps and / or XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask bit is set in the
.I supported
mask returned by
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo,
the Xkb extension allows applications to assign maps and / or names to the
indicators of nonkeyboard extension devices. If supported, maps and / or names
can be assigned to all extension device indicators, whether they are part of a
keyboard feedback or part of an indicator feedback.
If the XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask and / or XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask flag is set in
.I which,
the indicator maps and / or names for all
.I device_info->num_leds
indicator devices specified in
.I device_info->leds
are set to the maps and / or names specified in
.I device_info->leds. device_info->leds->led_class
and
.I led_id
specify the input extension class and device ID for each indicator device to
modify; if they have invalid values, a BadValue protocol error results and
.I XkbSetDeviceInfo
returns False. If they have legal values but do not specify a keyboard or
indicator class feedback for the device in question, a BadMatch error results.
If any of the values in
.I device_info->leds->names
are not a valid Atom or None, a BadAtom protocol error results.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
True
The
.I XkbSetDeviceInfo
function returns True if the request was successfully sent to the server.
.TP 15
False
The
.I XkbSetDeviceInfo
function returns False if the X server implementation does not allow interaction
between the X input extension and the Xkb Extension.
.SH STRUCTURES
.LP
Changes to an Xkb extension device may be tracked by listening to
XkbDeviceExtensionNotify events and accumulating the changes in an
XkbDeviceChangesRec structure. The changes noted in the structure may then be
used in subsequent operations to update either a server configuration or a local
copy of an Xkb extension device configuration. The changes structure is defined
as follows:
.nf
typedef struct _XkbDeviceChanges {
unsigned int changed; /\&* bits indicating what has changed */
unsigned short first_btn; /\&* number of first button which changed, if any */
unsigned short num_btns; /\&* number of buttons that have changed */
XkbDeviceLedChangesRec leds;
} XkbDeviceChangesRec,*XkbDeviceChangesPtr;
.fi
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.B BadAtom
A name is neither a valid Atom or None
.TP 15
.B BadMatch
A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has
correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
.TP 15
.B BadValue
An argument is out of range
