DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  events  are  selected  using an event mask, much the same as normal core X events are
       selected. However, unlike selecting core X events, where you must  specify  the  selection
       status  (on or off) for all possible event types whenever you wish to change the selection
       criteria for any one event, Xkb allows you to restrict the specification to only the event
       types  you wish to change. This means that you do not need to remember the event selection
       values for all possible types each time you want to change one of them.

       Many Xkb event types are generated under several different circumstances.  When  selecting
       to  receive  an  Xkb  event,  you  may specify either that you want it delivered under all
       circumstances, or  that  you  want  it  delivered  only  for  a  subset  of  the  possible
       circumstances.

       You  can  also  deselect  an  event  type that was previously selected for, using the same
       granularity.

       Xkb provides two functions to select and deselect delivery of Xkb events.  XkbSelectEvents
       allows  you to select or deselect delivery of more than one Xkb event type at once. Events
       selected using XkbSelectEvents are delivered to your program under all circumstances  that
       generate the events.  To restrict delivery of an event to a subset of the conditions under
       which it occurs, use  XkbSelectEventDetails.  XkbSelectEventDetails  only  allows  you  to
       change  the  selection conditions for a single event at a time, but it provides a means of
       fine-tuning the conditions under which the event is delivered.

       This request  changes  the  Xkb  event  selection  mask  for  the  keyboard  specified  by
       device_spec.

       Each  Xkb  event  that  can  be selected is represented by a bit in the bits_to_change and
       values_for_bits masks. Only the event  selection  bits  specified  by  the  bits_to_change
       parameter  are  affected;  any  unspecified  bits  are  left  unchanged.  To turn on event
       selection for an event, set the bit for the event in the bits_to_change parameter and  set
       the corresponding bit in the values_for_bits parameter. To turn off event selection for an
       event, set the bit for the event in the  bits_to_change  parameter  and  do  not  set  the
       corresponding  bit  in  the  values_for_bits parameter. The valid values for both of these
       parameters are an inclusive bitwise OR of  the  masks  shown  in  Table  1.  There  is  no
       interface  to  return your client's current event selection mask. Clients cannot set other
       clients' event selection masks.

       The X server reports the events defined by Xkb to your client application only if you have
       requested  them via a call to XkbSelectEvents or XkbSelectEventDetails.  Specify the event
       types in which you are interested in a mask.

       Table 1 lists the event mask constants that can  be  specified  with  the  XkbSelectEvents
       request and the circumstances in which the mask should be specified.

                        Table 1 XkbSelectEvents Mask Constants
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Event Mask                     Value      Notification Wanted
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       XkbNewKeyboardNotifyMask       (1L<<0)    Keyboard geometry change
       XkbMapNotifyMask               (1L<<1)    Keyboard mapping change
       XkbStateNotifyMask             (1L<<2)    Keyboard state change
       XkbControlsNotifyMask          (1L<<3)    Keyboard control change
       XkbIndicatorStateNotifyMask    (1L<<4)    Keyboard indicator state change
       XkbIndicatorMapNotifyMask      (1L<<5)    Keyboard indicator map change
       XkbNamesNotifyMask             (1L<<6)    Keyboard name change
       XkbCompatMapNotifyMask         (1L<<7)    Keyboard compat map change
       XkbBellNotifyMask              (1L<<8)    Bell
       XkbActionMessageMask           (1L<<9)    Action message
       XkbAccessXNotifyMask           (1L<<10)   AccessX features
       XkbExtensionDeviceNotifyMask   (1L<<11)   Extension device
       XkbAllEventsMask               (0xFFF)    All Xkb events

       If  a  bit is not set in the bits_to_change parameter, but the corresponding bit is set in
       the values_for_bits parameter, a BadMatch protocol error results. If an undefined  bit  is
       set  in  either  the  bits_to_change or the values_for_bits parameter, a BadValue protocol
       error results.

       All event selection bits are initially zero for clients using the Xkb extension.  Once you
       set  some  bits,  they remain set for your client until you clear them via another call to
       XkbSelectEvents.

       XkbSelectEvents returns False if the Xkb extension  has  not  been  initialized  and  True
       otherwise.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The  XkbSelectEvents  function  returns  True if the Xkb extension has been
                      initialized.

       False          The XkbSelectEvents function returns False if the  Xkb  extension  has  not
                      been initialized.
