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 interoperability, uses +indicator names. The correspondence between the indicator name and the bit +position in masks is as follows: one of the parameters returned from +.I 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. + +.I XkbGetIndicatorState +queries the +.I display +for the state of the indicators on the device specified by the +.I device_spec. +For each indicator that is "turned on" on the device, the associated bit is set +in +.I state_return. +If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, .I +XkbGetIndicatorState +returns a BadMatch error. Otherwise, it sends the request to the X server, +places the state of the indicators into +.I state_return, +and returns Success. Thus the value reported by +.I XkbGetIndicatorState +is identical to the value reported by the core protocol. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.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 +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR XkbGetNamedIndicators (__libmansuffix__) + |
