SYNOPSIS
- 
Status XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
(Display *dpy,
unsigned int first,
unsigned int num,
XkbDescPtr xkb);
 
ARGUMENTS
- - dpy
- 
- connection to server
- - first
- 
keycode of first key to fetch
- - num
- 
number of keys for which virtual mod maps are desired
- - xkb
-

DESCRIPTION
XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap 
sends a request to the server to obtain the virtual modifier mappings for 
num 
keys on the keyboard starting with key 
first. 
It waits for a reply and returns the virtual modifier mappings in the
server->vmodmap 
array of 
xkb. 
If successful, 
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap 
returns Success. The 
xkb 
parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.
If the 
server 
map in the 
xkb 
parameter has not been allocated, 
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap 
allocates and initializes it before obtaining the virtual modifier mappings.
If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension 
has not been properly initialized, 
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap 
returns BadMatch. If 
num 
is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount, 
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap 
returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, 
XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap 
returns BadAlloc.
 
RETURN VALUES
- Success
- 
The 
XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap 
function returns Success following a successful reply from the server to obtain 
the virtual modifier mappings for 
num 
keys on the keyboard starting with key 
first.
