+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Xkb also allows applications to refer to indicators by name. Use
+.I XkbGetNames
+to get the indicator names. Using names eliminates the need for hard-coding
+bitmask values for particular keyboards. For example, instead of using
+vendor-specific constants such as WSKBLed_ScrollLock mask on Digital
+workstations or XLED_SCROLL_LOCK on Sun workstations, you can instead use
+.I XkbGetNamedIndicator
+to look up information on the indicator named "Scroll Lock."
+
+If the device specified by
+.I device_spec
+has an indicator named
+.I name, XkbGetNamedIndicator
+returns True and populates the rest of the parameters with information about the
+indicator. Otherwise,
+.I XkbGetNamedIndicator
+returns False.
+
+The
+.I ndx_rtrn
+field returns the zero-based index of the named indicator. This index 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 state_rtrn
+returns the current state of the named indicator (True = on, False = off).
+.I map_rtrn
+returns the indicator map for the named indicator. In addition, if the indicator
+is mapped to a physical LED, the
+.I real_rtrn
+parameter is set to True.
+
+Each of the "
+.I _rtrn
+" arguments is optional; you can pass NULL for any unneeded "
+.I _rtrn
+" arguments.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 15
+True
+The
+.I XkbGetNamedIndicator
+function returns True if the device specified by
+.I device_spec
+has an indicator named
+.I name.
+.TP 15
+False
+The
+.I XkbGetNamedIndicator
+function returns False if the device specified by
+.I device_spec
+does not have an indicator named
+.I name.
