+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Whenever a client remaps the keyboard using core protocol requests, Xkb examines
+the map to determine likely default values for the components that cannot be
+specified using the core protocol (see Core Keyboard Mapping to Xkb Keyboard
+Mapping Transformation for more information on how Xkb chooses the default
+values).
+
+DO THE FOUR PAGES OF "CORE KEYBOARD MAPPING TO XKB KEYBOARD MAPPING
+TRANSFORMATION" NEED TO BE ADDED HERE?
+
+This automatic remapping might replace definitions explicitly requested by an
+application, so the Xkb keyboard description defines an explicit components mask
+for each key. Any aspects of the automatic remapping listed in the explicit
+components mask for a key are not changed by the automatic keyboard mapping.
+
+The explicit components masks are held in the
+.I explicit
+field of the server map, which is an array indexed by keycode. Each entry in
+this array is a mask that is a bitwise inclusive OR of the values shown in Table
+1.

+
+.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents
+sends a request to the server to obtain the explicit components for
+.I num
+keys on the keyboard starting with key
+.I first.
+It waits for a reply and returns the explicit components in the
+.I server->explicit
+array of
+.I xkb.
+If successful,
+.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents
+returns Success. The
+.I xkb
+parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.
+
+If the
+.I server
+map in the
+.I xkb
+parameter has not been allocated,
+.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents
+allocates and initializes it before obtaining the actions.
+
+If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension
+has not been properly initialized,
+.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents
+returns BadMatch. If
+.I num
+is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount,
+.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents
+returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur,
+.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents
+returns BadAlloc.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 15
+.B BadAlloc
+Unable to allocate storage
+.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
+.TP 15
+.B BadValue
+An argument is out of range
