Note that symbol interpretations in a +compatibility map ( +.I sym_interpret, +the vector of XkbSymInterpretRec structures) are also allocated using this same +function. + +.I XkbSetCompatMap +copies compatibility map information from the keyboard description in +.I xkb +to the server specified in +.I display +'s compatibility map for the device specified by the +.I device_spec +field of +.I xkb. +Unless you have specifically modified this field, it is the default keyboard +device. +.I which +specifies the compatibility map components to be set, and is an inclusive OR of +the bits shown in Table 1. + +.TS +c s s +l l l +l l lw(3i). +Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks +_ +Mask Value Affecting +_ +XkbSymInterpMask (1<<0) Symbol interpretations +XkbGroupCompatMask (1<<1) Group maps +XkbAllCompatMask (0x3) All compatibility map components +.TE + +After updating its compatibility map for the specified device, if +.I update_actions +is True, the server applies the new compatibility map to its entire keyboard for +the device to generate a new set of key semantics, compatibility state, and a +new core keyboard map. If +.I update_actions +is False, the new compatibility map is not used to generate any modifications to +the current device semantics, state, or core keyboard map. One reason for not +applying the compatibility map immediately would be if one server was being +configured to match another on a piecemeal basis; the map should not be applied +until everything is updated. To force an update at a later time, use +.I XkbSetCompatMap +specifying +.I which +as zero and +.I update_actions +as True. + +.I XkbSetCompatMap +returns True if successful and False if unsuccessful. The server may report +problems it encounters when processing the request subsequently via protocol +errors. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.TP 15 +True +The +.I XkbSetCompatMap +function returns True if successful. +.TP 15 +False +The +.I XkbSetCompatMap +function returns False if unsuccessful. +.SH STRUCTURES +.LP +The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec.

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.
