-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-A client may request that the server fetch one or more components from its
-database and use those components to build a new server keyboard description.
-The new keyboard description may be built from scratch, or it may be built
-starting with the current keyboard description for a particular device. Once the
-keyboard description is built, all or part of it may be returned to the client.
-The parts returned to the client need not include all of the parts used to build
-the description. At the time it requests the server to build a new keyboard
-description, a client may also request that the server use the new description
-internally to replace the current keyboard description for a specific device, in
-which case the behavior of the device changes accordingly.
-
-To build a new keyboard description from a set of named components, and to
-optionally have the server use the resulting description to replace an active
-one, use
-.I XkbGetKeyboardByName.
-
-.I names
-contains a set of expressions describing the keyboard components the
-server should use to build the new keyboard description.
-.I want
-and
-.I need
-are bit fields describing the parts of the resulting keyboard description that
-should be present in the returned XkbDescRec.
-
-The individual fields in
-.I names
-are
-.I component expressions
-composed of keyboard component names (no wildcarding as may be used in
-.I XkbListComponents),
-the special component name symbol `%', and the special operator characters `+'
-and `|'. A component expression is parsed left to right, as follows:
-
-.IP \(bu 5
-The special component name "computed" may be used in keycodes component
-expressions and refers to a component consisting of a set of keycodes computed
-automatically by the server as needed.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The special component name "canonical" may be used in types component
-expressions and refers to a partial component defining the four standard key
-types: ALPHABETIC, ONE_LEVEL, TWO_LEVEL, and KEYPAD.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The special component name `%' refers to the keyboard description for the device
-specified in device_spec or the keymap names component. If a keymap names
-component is specified that does not begin with `+' or `|' and does not contain
-`%', then `%' refers to the description generated by the keymap names component.
-Otherwise, it refers to the keyboard description for device_spec.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The `+' operator specifies that the following component should override the
-currently assembled description; any definitions that are present in both
-components are taken from the second.
-.IP \(bu 5
-The `|' operator specifies that the next specified component should augment the
-currently assembled description; any definitions that are present in both
-components are taken from the first.
-.IP \(bu 5
-If the component expression begins with an operator, a leading `%' is implied.
-.IP \(bu 5
-If any unknown or illegal characters appear anywhere in the expression, the
-entire expression is invalid and is ignored.
-
-For example, if
-.I names->symbols
-contained the expression "+de", it specifies that
-the default member of the "de" class of symbols should be applied to the current
-keyboard mapping, overriding any existing definitions (it could also be written
-"+de(default)").
-
-Here is a slightly more involved example: the expression
-"acme(ascii)+de(basic)|iso9995-3" constructs a German (de) mapping for the ASCII
-keyboard supplied by the "acme" vendor. The new definition begins with the
-symbols for the ASCII keyboard for Acme
-.I (acme(ascii)),
-overrides them with definitions for the basic German keyboard
-.I (de(basic)),
-and then applies the definitions from the default iso9995-3 keyboard
-.I (iso9995-3)
-to any undefined keys or groups of keys (part three of the iso9995 standard
-defines a common set of bindings for the secondary group, but allows national
-layouts to override those definitions where necessary).
-
-.B NOTE
-The interpretation of the above expression components (acme, ascii, de, basic,
-iso9995-3) is not defined by Xkb; only the operations and their ordering are.
-
-Note that the presence of a keymap
-.I names
-component that does not contain `%' (either explicit or implied by virtue of an
-expression starting with an operator) indicates a description that is
-independent of the keyboard description for the device specified in
-.I device_spec.
-The same is true of requests in which the keymap names component is empty and
-all five other names components contain expressions void of references to `%'.
-Requests of this form allow you to deal with keyboard definitions independent of
-any actual device.
-
-The server parses all non-NULL fields in
-.I names
-and uses them to build a keyboard description. However, before parsing the
-expressions in
-.I names,
-the server ORs the bits in
-.I want
-and
-.I need
-together and examines the result in relationship to the expressions in
-.I names.
-Table 1 identifies the components that are required for each of the possible
-bits in
-.I want
-or
-.I need.
-If a required component has not been specified in the
-.I names structure (the corresponding field is NULL), the server substitutes the
-expression "%", resulting in the component values being taken from
-.I device_spec.
-In addition, if
-.I load
-is True, the server modifies
-.I names
-if necessary (again using a "%" entry) to ensure all of the following fields are
-non-NULL:
-.I types, keycodes, symbols,
-and
-.I compat.

+The
+.I display
+field points to an X display structure. The
+.I flags field is private to the library: modifying
+.I flags
+may yield unpredictable results. The
+.I device_spec
+field specifies the device identifier of the keyboard input device, or
+XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core keyboard device. The
+.I min_key_code
+and
+.I max_key_code
+fields specify the least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the
+keyboard.
+
+Each structure component has a corresponding mask bit that is used in function
+calls to
+indicate that the structure should be manipulated in some manner, such as
+allocating it
+or freeing it. These masks and their relationships to the fields in the
+XkbDescRec are
+shown in Table 3.
