NAME

       DMXGetInputAttributes - determine input device attributes

SYNOPSIS

       #include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>

       Bool DMXGetInputAttributes(Display *dpy,
				  int id,
				  DMXInputAttributes *attr);

DESCRIPTION

       DMXGetInputAttributes()	returns  information  about  the  input  device  specified  with id.  This information cannot be obtained from the
       XListInputDeivices(3X) call.  id is the same as that used by the XListInputDevices(3X) call, and must be in the range 0 to  one	less  than
       the value returned by DMXGetInputCount(3X), inclusive.

       The DMXInputAttributes structure is:

       typedef struct {
	   DMXInputEnum inputType;
	   int		physicalScreen;
	   int		physicalId;
	   Bool 	isCore;
	   Bool 	sendsCore;
	   const char	*name;
	   Bool 	detached;
       } DMXInputAttributes;

       The value of inputType will always be valid, and will have one of the following values, depending on the type of input: DMXLocalInputType ,
       DMXConsoleInputType , or DMXBackendInputType .

       For local devices, all other fields returned, except isCore  and  sendsCore , are invalid.

       For console devices, physicalScreen  and  physicalID will be invalid, and name will return the name of the X server on  which  the  console
       window is displayed.

       For  back-end  devices,	physicalScreen	will identify the back-end display and can be used as an argument to DMXGetScreenAttributes(3X) to
       obtain more information; physicalId will be the XInput device id on the back-end X server; and name will be invalid (since it does not pro-
       vide any additional information that cannot be obtained with DMXGetScreenAttributes(3X)).

       If  isCore  is  True,  then  this  device is active as a true core input device and will send core events.  If sendsCore is True, then this
       device is an XInput extension device, but sends core events instead of extension events.  This behavior is different from that  of  XFree86
       or Xorg, where XInput extension devices may send both extension events and core events.

       If  detached  is True, then this device has been detached and is no longer producing input events.  The device may be reattached using DMX-
       AddInput(3X).

RETURN VALUE

       DMXGetInputAttributes() returns True unless there is a protocol error.

       DMXGetInputAttributes() can generate BadValue (if the value of id is out of range).
