NAME

       XkbGetCompatMap  -  Fetch any combination of the current compatibility map components from
       the server

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetCompatMap (Display *display, unsigned int which, XkbDescRec *xkb);

ARGUMENTS

       display
              connection to server

       which  mask of compatibility map components to fetch

       xkb    keyboard description where results placed

DESCRIPTION

       When another client modifies the compatibility map, you are notified if you have  selected
       for XkbCompatMapNotify events.  XkbGetCompatMap is particularly useful when you receive an
       event of this type, as it allows you to update your program's version of the compatibility
       map  to  match  the  modified  version  now in the server. If your program is dealing with
       multiple servers and needs to  configure  them  all  in  a  similar  manner,  the  updated
       compatibility map may be used to reconfigure other servers.

       XkbGetCompatMap  fetches  the  components of the compatibility map specified in which from
       the server specified by display and places them in the compat structure  of  the  keyboard
       description  xkb.  Valid values for which are an inclusive OR of the values shown in Table
       1.

                 Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Mask                 Value    Affecting
       ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       XkbSymInterpMask     (1<<0)   Symbol interpretations
       XkbGroupCompatMask   (1<<1)   Group maps
       XkbAllCompatMask     (0x3)    All compatibility map components

       If no compatibility  map  structure  is  allocated  in  xkb  upon  entry,  XkbGetCompatMap
       allocates  one.  If  one  already  exists,  its contents are overwritten with the returned
       results.

       XkbGetCompatMap fetches compatibility map information for  the  device  specified  by  the
       device_spec  field  of  xkb.   Unless you have specifically modified this field, it is the
       default keyboard device.  XkbGetCompatMap returns Success if successful, BadAlloc if it is
       unable to obtain necessary storage for either the return values or work space, BadMatch if
       the dpy field of the xkb argument is non-NULL and does not match the display argument, and
       BadLength under certain conditions caused by server or Xkb implementation errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadLength      The  length  of  a  request  is  shorter  or  longer  than that required to
                      minimally contain the arguments

       BadMatch       A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an  argument
                      has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
