NAME

       XkbSAScreen - Returns the screenXXX field of act converted to a signed int

SYNOPSIS

       int XkbSAScreen (XkbSwitchScreenAction act);

ARGUMENTS

       - act  action from which to extract screen

DESCRIPTION

       Actions associated with the XkbSwitchScreen action structure change the active screen on a
       multiscreen display.

       The type field of the XkbSwitchScreenAction structure should always be XkbSA_SwitchScreen.

       The flags field is composed of the bitwise inclusive OR of the masks shown in Table 1.

       Flag                      Meaning
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       XkbSA_SwitchAbsolute      If set, the screenXXX  field  represents
                                 the  index of the new screen. Otherwise,
                                 it represents an offset from the current
                                 screen to the new screen.
       XkbSA_SwitchApplication   If  not set, the action should switch to
                                 another  screen  on  the  same   server.
                                 Otherwise, it should switch to another X
                                 server or application  that  shares  the
                                 same physical display.

       The  screenXXX  field  is  a signed character value that represents either the relative or
       absolute screen index, depending on the state of the XkbSA_SwitchAbsolute bit in the flags
       field.  Xkb  provides  the  following  macros  to  convert  between the integer and signed
       character value for screen numbers in XkbSwitchScreenAction structures.

       XkbSAScreen macro returns the screenXXX field of act converted to a signed int.

STRUCTURES

           typedef struct _XkbSwitchScreenAction {
               unsigned char    type;        /∗ XkbSA_SwitchScreen */
               unsigned char    flags;       /∗ controls screen switching */
               char             screenXXX;   /∗ screen number or delta */
           } XkbSwitchScreenAction;

NOTES

       The XkbSwitchScreen action is optional. Servers are free to ignore the action  or  any  of
       its  flags  if  they  do  not support the requested behavior. If the action is ignored, it
       behaves like XkbSA_NoAction. Otherwise, key press and key release events do  not  generate
       an event.
