ARGUMENTS

12       - dpy  connection to the X server

DESCRIPTION

20       XkbGetNames retrieves symbolic names for the components of the keyboard
21       extension from the X server. The which  parameter  specifies  the  name
22       components  to  be updated in the xkb parameter, and is the bitwise in‐
23       clusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in Table 1.

53
54       If the names field of the keyboard description xkb is NULL, XkbGetNames
55       allocates  and initializes the names component of the keyboard descrip‐
56       tion before obtaining the values specified  by  which.   If  the  names
57       field  of  xkb is not NULL, XkbGetNames obtains the values specified by
58       which and copies them into the keyboard description Xkb.
59
60       If the map component of the xkb parameter is NULL, XkbGetNames does not
61       retrieve  type or shift level names, even if XkbKeyTypeNamesMask or Xk‐
62       bKTLevelNamesMask are set in which.
63
64       XkbGetNames can return Success, or BadAlloc, BadLength,  BadMatch,  and
65       BadImplementation errors.
66
67       To free symbolic names, use XkbFreeNames.

DIAGNOSTICS

70       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage
71
72       BadImplementation
73                      Invalid reply from server
74
75       BadLength      The  length  of a request is shorter or longer than that
76                      required to minimally contain the arguments
77
78       BadMatch       A compatible version of Xkb was  not  available  in  the
79                      server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
80                      otherwise invalid
