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. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR XkbGetNames (__libmansuffix__) |
