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
