XkbGetNamedIndicator(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbGetNamedIndicator(3)

NAME

       XkbGetNamedIndicator - Look up the indicator map and other information for an indicator by name

SYNOPSIS

       Bool  XkbGetNamedIndicator  (Display  *dpy, unsigned int dev_spec, Atom name, int *ndx_rtrn, Bool *state_rtrn, XkbIndicatorMapPtr map_rtrn,
	      Bool *real_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to the X server

       - dev_spec
	      keyboard device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - name name of the indicator to be retrieved

       - ndx_rtrn
	      backfilled with the index of the retrieved indicator

       - state_rtrn
	      backfilled with the current state of the retrieved indicator

       - map_rtrn
	       backfilled with the mapping for the retrieved indicator

       - real_rtrn
	      backfilled with True if the named indicator is real (physical)

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb also allows applications to refer to indicators by name. Use XkbGetNames to get the indicator names. Using names  eliminates  the  need
       for hard-coding bitmask values for particular keyboards. For example, instead of using vendor-specific constants such as WSKBLed_ScrollLock
       mask on Digital workstations or XLED_SCROLL_LOCK on Sun workstations, you can instead use XkbGetNamedIndicator to look  up  information	on
       the indicator named "Scroll Lock."

       If the device specified by device_spec has an indicator named name, XkbGetNamedIndicator returns True and populates the rest of the parame-
       ters with information about the indicator. Otherwise, XkbGetNamedIndicator returns False.

       The ndx_rtrn field returns the zero-based index of the named indicator. This index is the bit position to use in  any  function	call  that
       requires  a  mask of indicator bits, as well as the indicator's index into the XkbIndicatorRec array of indicator maps.	state_rtrn returns
       the current state of the named indicator (True = on, False = off).  map_rtrn returns the indicator map for the named  indicator.  In  addi-
       tion, if the indicator is mapped to a physical LED, the real_rtrn parameter is set to True.

       Each of the " _rtrn " arguments is optional; you can pass NULL for any unneeded " _rtrn " arguments.

RETURN VALUES

       True	      The XkbGetNamedIndicator function returns True if the device specified by device_spec has an indicator named name.

       False	      The  XkbGetNamedIndicator  function  returns  False  if the device specified by device_spec does not have an indicator named
		      name.

NAME

       XkbGetIndicatorState - Obtains the current state of the keyboard indicators

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetIndicatorState ( display, device_spec, state_return )
	     Display *display;
	     unsigned int device_spec;
	     unsigned int state_return;

ARGUMENTS

       - display
	      connection to the X server

       - device_spec
	      device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - state_return
	      backfilled with a mask of the indicator state

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two different methods. The first method, which is similar to the core
       X implementation, uses a mask to specify the indicators. The second method, which is more suitable for applications concerned with interop-
       erability,  uses  indicator  names.  The  correspondence between the indicator name and the bit position in masks is as follows: one of the
       parameters returned from XkbGetNamedIndicators is an index that is the bit position to use in any function call that  requires  a  mask	of
       indicator bits, as well as the indicator's index into the XkbIndicatorRec array of indicator maps.

       XkbGetIndicatorState  queries  the  display for the state of the indicators on the device specified by the device_spec.	For each indicator
       that is "turned on" on the device, the associated bit is set in state_return.  If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is  not  avail-
       able in the server, XkbGetIndicatorState returns a BadMatch error. Otherwise, it sends the request to the X server, places the state of the
       indicators into state_return, and returns Success. Thus the value reported by XkbGetIndicatorState is identical to the  value  reported	by
       the core protocol.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadMatch       A  compatible  version  of  Xkb  was not available in the server or an argument has correct type and range, but is otherwise
		      invalid
