NAME

6       XkbChangeMap  -  Update  only partial components of a keyboard descrip‐
7       tion, modify the appropriate fields in the server and map components of
8       a local copy of the keyboard description
9

SYNOPSIS

11       Bool  XkbChangeMap  (Display  *dpy,  XkbDescPtr  xkb,  XkbMapChangesPtr
12              changes);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       - dpy  connection to X server
16
17       - xkb  description from which new values are taken
18
19       - changes
20              identifies component parts to update
21

DESCRIPTION

23       To update only partial components of a keyboard description, modify the
24       appropriate  fields in the server and map components of a local copy of
25       the keyboard description, then call XkbChangeMap with an XkbMapChanges‐
26       Rec structure indicating which components have changed.
27
28       XkbChangeMap  copies  any components specified by the changes structure
29       from the keyboard description, xkb, to the X server specified by dpy.
30
31       If any components specified by changes  are  not  present  in  the  xkb
32       parameter, XkbChangeMap returns False. Otherwise, it sends a request to
33       the server and returns True.
34
35       XkbChangeMap can generate BadAlloc, BadLength,  and  BadValue  protocol
36       errors.
37

RETURN VALUES

39       True           The XkbChangeMap function returns True if the components
40                      specified by changes are present in the xkb parameter.
41
42       False          The XkbChangeMap function returns False  if  the  compo‐
43                      nents  specified  by  changes are not present in the xkb
44                      parameter.
45

STRUCTURES

47       Use the XkbMapChangesRec structure to identify and track partial  modi‐
48       fications to the mapping components and to reduce the amount of traffic
49       between the server and clients.

DIAGNOSTICS

83       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage
84
85       BadLength      The length of a request is shorter or longer  than  that
86                      required to minimally contain the arguments
87
88       BadValue       An argument is out of range
