DESCRIPTION

24       The  modmap  entry  of  the client map is an array, indexed by keycode,
25       specifying the real modifiers bound to a key. Each entry is a mask com‐
26       posed of a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal real modifiers: ShiftMask,
27       LockMask, ControlMask,  Mod1Mask,  Mod2Mask,  Mod3Mask,  Mod4Mask,  and
28       Mod5Mask.  If  a bit is set in a modmap entry, the corresponding key is
29       bound to that modifier.
30
31       Pressing or releasing the key bound to a modifier changes the  modifier
32       set  and  unset  state. The particular manner in which the modifier set
33       and unset state changes is  determined  by  the  behavior  and  actions
34       assigned to the key.
35
36       XkbGetKeyModifierMap  sends  a  request  to the server for the modifier
37       mappings for num keys starting with the key whose keycode is first.  It
38       waits for a reply and places the results in the xkb->map->modmap array.
39       If successful, XkbGetKeyModifier returns Success.
40
41       If the map component of the  xkb  parameter  has  not  been  allocated,
42       XkbGetKeyModifierMap allocates and initializes it.
43
44       If  a  compatible  version of Xkb is not available in the server or the
45       Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, XkbGetKeySyms  returns
46       BadAccess.  If any allocation errors occur while obtaining the modifier
47       map, XkbGetKeyModifierMap returns BadAlloc.
