XkbVirtualModsToReal(3) 	 XKB FUNCTIONS	       XkbVirtualModsToReal(3)



NAME
       XkbVirtualModsToReal  -	Determines the mapping of virtual modifiers to
       core X protocol modifiers

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbVirtualModsToReal ( xkb, virtual_mask, mask_rtrn )

	     XkbDescPtr  xkb ;
	     unsigned int  virtual_mask ;
	     unsigned int * mask_rtrn ;

ARGUMENTS
       - xkb  keyboard description for input device

       - virtual_mask
	      virtual modifier mask to translate

       - mask_rtrn
	      backfilled with real modifiers

DESCRIPTION
       Xkb maintains a virtual modifier mapping, which lists the virtual modi-
       fiers  associated with, or bound to, each key. The real modifiers bound
       to a virtual modifier always include all of the modifiers bound to  any
       of  the	keys that specify that virtual modifier in their virtual modi-
       fier mapping. The server.vmodmap array indicates  which	virtual  modi-
       fiers  are  bound  to each key; each entry is a bitmask for the virtual
       modifier bits. The server.vmodmap array is indexed by keycode.

       The vmodmap and vmods members of the server map are the	"master"  vir-
       tual  modifier definitions. Xkb automatically propagates any changes to
       these fields to all other fields that use virtual modifier mappings.

       For example, if Mod3 is bound to the Num_Lock key by the core  protocol
       modifier  mapping,  and	the  NumLock virtual modifier is bound to they
       Num_Lock key by the virtual modifier mapping, Mod3 is added to the  set
       of modifiers associated with NumLock.

       The  virtual  modifier mapping is normally updated whenever actions are
       automatically applied to symbols and few applications  should  need  to
       change the virtual modifier mapping explicitly.

       Use  XkbGetMap  to  get	the  virtual  modifiers from the server or use
       XkbGetVirtualMods to update a local copy of the virtual modifiers bind-
       ings  from  the	server.  To set the binding of a virtual modifier to a
       real modifier, use XkbGetVirtualMods

       If the keyboard description defined by xkb includes bindings  for  vir-
       tual  modifiers,  XkbVirtualModsToReal uses those bindings to determine
       the set of real modifiers that correspond to the set of	virtual  modi-
       fiers  specified in virtual_mask.  The virtual_mask parameter is a mask
       specifying the virtual modifiers to translate; the i-th	bit  (0  rela-
       tive) of the mask represents the i-th virtual modifier. If mask_rtrn is
       non-NULL, XkbVirtualModsToReal backfills it  with  the  resulting  real
       modifier mask. If the keyboard description in xkb does not include vir-
       tual modifier bindings, XkbVirtualModsToReal returns False;  otherwise,
       it returns True.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The  XkbVirtualModsToReal  function  returns True if the
		      keyboard description in xkb does include	virtual  modi-
		      fier bindings.

       False	      The  XkbVirtualModsToReal  function returns False if the
		      keyboard description in xkb  does  not  include  virtual
		      modifier bindings.

NOTES
       It  is possible for a local (client-side) keyboard description (the xkb
       parameter) to not contain  any  virtual	modifier  information  (simply
       because the client has not requested it) while the server's correspond-
       ing definition may contain virtual modifier information.
