+.TP
+.I \- state_return
+backfilled with a mask of the indicator state
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Xkb allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two
+different methods. 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
