+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+When another client modifies the compatibility map, you are notified if you have
+selected for XkbCompatMapNotify events.
+.I XkbGetCompatMap
+is particularly useful when you receive an event of this type, as it allows you
+to update your program's version of the compatibility map to match the modified
+version now in the server. If your program is dealing with multiple servers and
+needs to configure them all in a similar manner, the updated compatibility map
+may be used to reconfigure other servers.
+
+.I XkbGetCompatMap
+fetches the components of the compatibility map specified in
+.I which
+from the server specified by
+.I display
+and places them in the
+.I compat
+structure of the keyboard description
+.I xkb.
+Valid values for
+.I which
+are an inclusive OR of the values shown in Table 1.

+
+If no compatibility map structure is allocated in
+.I xkb
+upon entry,
+.I XkbGetCompatMap
+allocates one. If one already exists, its contents are overwritten with the
+returned results.
+
+.I XkbGetCompatMap
+fetches compatibility map information for the device specified by the
+.I device_spec
+field of
+.I xkb.
+Unless you have specifically modified this field, it is the default keyboard
+device.
+.I XkbGetCompatMap
+returns Success if successful, BadAlloc if it is unable to obtain necessary
+storage for either the return values or work space, BadMatch if the
+.I dpy
+field of the
+.I xkb
+argument is non-NULL and does not match the
+.I display
+argument, and BadLength under certain conditions caused by server or Xkb
+implementation errors.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS

+.B BadAlloc
+Unable to allocate storage
+.TP 15
+.B BadLength
+The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments
+.TP 15
+.B BadMatch
+A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has
+correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
