+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XChangeKeyboardMapping
+function defines the symbols for the specified number of KeyCodes
+starting with first_keycode.
+The symbols for KeyCodes outside this range remain unchanged.
+The number of elements in keysyms must be:
+.LP
+.Ds
+num_codes * keysyms_per_keycode
+.De
+.LP
+The specified first_keycode must be greater than or equal to min_keycode
+returned by
+.ZN XDisplayKeycodes ,
+or a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+In addition, the following expression must be less than or equal to
+max_keycode as returned by
+.ZN XDisplayKeycodes ,
+or a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results:
+.LP
+.Ds
+first_keycode + num_codes \- 1
+.De
+.LP
+KeySym number N, counting from zero, for KeyCode K has the following index
+in keysyms, counting from zero:
+.LP
+.Ds
+(K \- first_keycode) * keysyms_per_keycode + N
+.De
+.LP
+The specified keysyms_per_keycode can be chosen arbitrarily by the client
+to be large enough to hold all desired symbols.
+A special KeySym value of
+.ZN NoSymbol
+should be used to fill in unused elements
+for individual KeyCodes.
+It is legal for
+.ZN NoSymbol
+to appear in nontrailing positions
+of the effective list for a KeyCode.
+.ZN XChangeKeyboardMapping
+generates a
+.ZN MappingNotify
+event.
+.LP
+There is no requirement that the X server interpret this mapping.
+It is merely stored for reading and writing by clients.
+.LP
+.ZN XChangeKeyboardMapping
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc
+and
+.ZN BadValue
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XGetKeyboardMapping
+function returns the symbols for the specified number of KeyCodes
+starting with first_keycode.
+The value specified in first_keycode must be greater than
+or equal to min_keycode as returned by
+.ZN XDisplayKeycodes ,
+or a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+In addition, the following expression must be less than or equal
+to max_keycode as returned by
+.ZN XDisplayKeycodes :
+.LP
+.Ds
+first_keycode + keycode_count \- 1
+.De
+.LP
+If this is not the case, a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+The number of elements in the KeySyms list is:
+.LP
+.Ds
+keycode_count * keysyms_per_keycode_return
+.De
+.LP
+KeySym number N, counting from zero, for KeyCode K has the following index
+in the list, counting from zero:
+.Ds
+(K \- first_code) * keysyms_per_code_return + N
+.De
+.LP
+The X server arbitrarily chooses the keysyms_per_keycode_return value
+to be large enough to report all requested symbols.
+A special KeySym value of
+.ZN NoSymbol
+is used to fill in unused elements for
+individual KeyCodes.
+To free the storage returned by
+.ZN XGetKeyboardMapping ,
+use
+.ZN XFree .
+.LP
+.ZN XGetKeyboardMapping
+can generate a
+.ZN BadValue
+error.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XDisplayKeycodes
+function returns the min-keycodes and max-keycodes supported by the
+specified display.
+The minimum number of KeyCodes returned is never less than 8,
+and the maximum number of KeyCodes returned is never greater than 255.
+Not all KeyCodes in this range are required to have corresponding keys.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XSetModifierMapping
+function specifies the KeyCodes of the keys (if any) that are to be used
+as modifiers.
+If it succeeds,
+the X server generates a
+.ZN MappingNotify
+event, and
+.ZN XSetModifierMapping
+returns
+.ZN MappingSuccess .
+X permits at most 8 modifier keys.
+If more than 8 are specified in the
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure, a
+.ZN BadLength
+error results.
+.LP
+The modifiermap member of the
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure contains 8 sets of max_keypermod KeyCodes,
+one for each modifier in the order
+.ZN Shift ,
+.ZN Lock ,
+.ZN Control ,
+.ZN Mod1 ,
+.ZN Mod2 ,
+.ZN Mod3 ,
+.ZN Mod4 ,
+and
+.ZN Mod5 .
+Only nonzero KeyCodes have meaning in each set,
+and zero KeyCodes are ignored.
+In addition, all of the nonzero KeyCodes must be in the range specified by
+min_keycode and max_keycode in the
+.ZN Display
+structure,
+or a
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+.LP
+An X server can impose restrictions on how modifiers can be changed,
+for example,
+if certain keys do not generate up transitions in hardware,
+if auto-repeat cannot be disabled on certain keys,
+or if multiple modifier keys are not supported.
+If some such restriction is violated,
+the status reply is
+.ZN MappingFailed ,
+and none of the modifiers are changed.
+If the new KeyCodes specified for a modifier differ from those
+currently defined and any (current or new) keys for that modifier are
+in the logically down state,
+.ZN XSetModifierMapping
+returns
+.ZN MappingBusy ,
+and none of the modifiers is changed.
+.LP
+.ZN XSetModifierMapping
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc
+and
+.ZN BadValue
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XGetModifierMapping
+function returns a pointer to a newly created
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure that contains the keys being used as modifiers.
+The structure should be freed after use by calling
+.ZN XFreeModifiermap .
+If only zero values appear in the set for any modifier,
+that modifier is disabled.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XNewModifiermap
+function returns a pointer to
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure for later use.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XInsertModifiermapEntry
+function adds the specified KeyCode to the set that controls the specified
+modifier and returns the resulting
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure (expanded as needed).
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XDeleteModifiermapEntry
+function deletes the specified KeyCode from the set that controls the
+specified modifier and returns a pointer to the resulting
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XFreeModifiermap
+function frees the specified
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure.
+.SH STRUCTURES
+The
+.ZN XModifierKeymap
+structure contains:
+.LP
+.Ds 0
+.TA .5i 2.5i
+.ta .5i 2.5i
+typedef struct {
+ int max_keypermod; /\&* This server's max number of keys per modifier */
+ KeyCode *modifiermap; /\&* An 8 by max_keypermod array of the modifiers */
+} XModifierKeymap;
+.De
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAlloc
+The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadValue
+Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
+Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
+by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
+alternatives can generate this error.
