XkbSetCompatMap(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS		    XkbSetCompatMap(3)



NAME
       XkbSetCompatMap - Modify the server's compatibility map

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbSetCompatMap ( display, which, xkb, update_actions )

	     Display * display;
	     unsigned int which;
	     XkbDescPtr xkb;
	     Bool update_actions;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
	      connection to server

       - which
	      mask of compat map components to set

       - xkb  source for compat map components

       - update_actions
	      True => apply to server's keyboard map

DESCRIPTION
       To  modify the server's compatibility map, first modify a local copy of
       the Xkb compatibility map, then call XkbSetCompatMap.  You may allocate
       a  new compatibility map for this purpose using XkbAllocCompatMap.  You
       may also use a compatibility map from another server, although you need
       to  adjust  the	device_spec  field in the XkbDescRec accordingly. Note
       that symbol interpretations in a compatibility map ( sym_interpret, the
       vector  of XkbSymInterpretRec structures) are also allocated using this
       same function.

       XkbSetCompatMap copies compatibility map information from the  keyboard
       description in xkb to the server specified in display device_spec field
       of xkb.	Unless you have specifically modified this field,  it  is  the
       default	keyboard device.  which specifies the compatibility map compo-
       nents to be set, and is an inclusive OR of the bits shown in Table 1.


		 Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       Mask		    Value    Affecting
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       XkbSymInterpMask     (1<<0)   Symbol interpretations
       XkbGroupCompatMask   (1<<1)   Group maps
       XkbAllCompatMask     (0x3)    All compatibility map components

       After updating its compatibility  map  for  the	specified  device,  if
       update_actions is True, the server applies the new compatibility map to
       its entire keyboard for the device to generate a new set of key	seman-
       tics,   compatibility   state,	and   a  new  core  keyboard  map.  If
       update_actions is False, the new compatibility map is not used to  gen-
       erate any modifications to the current device semantics, state, or core
       keyboard map. One reason for not applying the compatibility map immedi-
       ately would be if one server was being configured to match another on a
       piecemeal basis; the map should not  be	applied  until	everything  is
       updated. To force an update at a later time, use XkbSetCompatMap speci-
       fying which as zero and update_actions as True.

       XkbSetCompatMap returns True if successful and False  if  unsuccessful.
       The  server  may  report  problems  it  encounters  when processing the
       request subsequently via protocol errors.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The XkbSetCompatMap function returns True if successful.

       False	      The XkbSetCompatMap function returns False if unsuccess-
		      ful.

STRUCTURES
       The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an  XkbDescRec.
       The component structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb com-
       ponents.

       typedef struct {

	  struct _XDisplay * display;	   /* connection to X server */
	  unsigned short     flags;	   /* private to Xkb, do not modify */
	  unsigned short     device_spec;  /* device of interest */
	  KeyCode	     min_key_code; /* minimum keycode for device */
	  KeyCode	     max_key_code; /* maximum keycode for device */
	  XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;	   /* controls */
	  XkbServerMapPtr    server;	   /* server keymap */
	  XkbClientMapPtr    map;	   /* client keymap */
	  XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /* indicator map */
	  XkbNamesPtr	     names;	   /* names for all components */
	  XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;	   /* compatibility map */
	  XkbGeometryPtr     geom;	   /* physical geometry of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The display field points to an X display structure. The flags field  is
       private	to  the  library:  modifying  flags  may  yield  unpredictable
       results. The device_spec field specifies the device identifier  of  the
       keyboard  input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core
       keyboard device. The min_key_code and max_key_code fields  specify  the
       least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard.

       Each  structure	component has a corresponding mask bit that is used in
       function calls to indicate that the structure should be manipulated  in
       some manner, such as allocating it or freeing it. These masks and their
       relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown in Table 2.


	       Table 2 Mask Bits for XkbDescRec

       --------------------------------------------------
       Mask Bit 	      XkbDescRec Field	 Value
       --------------------------------------------------
       XkbControlsMask	      ctrls		 (1L<<0)
       XkbServerMapMask       server		 (1L<<1)
       XkbIClientMapMask      map		 (1L<<2)
       XkbIndicatorMapMask    indicators	 (1L<<3)
       XkbNamesMask	      names		 (1L<<4)
       XkbCompatMapMask       compat		 (1L<<5)
       XkbGeometryMask	      geom		 (1L<<6)
       XkbAllComponentsMask   All Fields	 (0x7f)

       The XkbSymInterpretRec structure specifies a symbol interpretation:

	   typedef struct {
	       KeySym	     sym;	  /* keysym of interest or NULL */
	       unsigned char flags;	  /* XkbSI_AutoRepeat, XkbSI_LockingKey */
	       unsigned char match;	  /* specifies how mods is interpreted */
	       unsigned char mods;	  /* modifier bits, correspond to eight real modifiers */
	       unsigned char virtual_mod; /* 1 modifier to add to key virtual mod map */
	       XkbAnyAction  act;	  /* action to bind to symbol position on key */

	   } XkbSymInterpretRec,*XkbSymInterpretPtr;
