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 as‐
34 signed 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.

41 If the map component of the xkb parameter has not been allocated, Xk‐
42 bGetKeyModifierMap 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.
48
50 BadAccess The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized
51
52 BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
