+.TP
+.I \- changes
+identifies component parts to update
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+To update only partial components of a keyboard description, modify the
+appropriate fields in the server and map components of a local copy of the
+keyboard description, then call
+.I XkbChangeMap
+with an XkbMapChangesRec structure indicating which components have changed.
+
+.I XkbChangeMap
+copies any components specified by the
+.I changes
+structure from the keyboard description,
+.I xkb,
+to the X server specified by
+.I dpy.
+
+If any components specified by
+.I changes
+are not present in the
+.I xkb
+parameter,
+.I XkbChangeMap
+returns False. Otherwise, it sends a request to the server and returns True.
+
+.I XkbChangeMap
+can generate BadAlloc, BadLength, and BadValue protocol errors.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 15
+True
+The XkbChangeMap function returns True if the components specified by
+.I changes
+are present in the
+.I xkb
+parameter.
+.TP 15
+False
+The XkbChangeMap function returns False if the components specified by
+.I changes
+are not present in the
+.I xkb
+parameter.
+.SH STRUCTURES
+.LP
+Use the XkbMapChangesRec structure to identify and track partial modifications
+to the mapping components and to reduce the amount of traffic between the server
+and clients.
