For each bit set in +.I which, XkbSetNames +takes the corresponding value (or values in the case of arrays) from the +keyboard description +.I xkb +and sends it to the server. + +The +.I first_type +and +.I num_types +arguments are used only if XkbKeyTypeNamesMask or XkbKTLevelNamesMask is set in +.I which +and specify a subset of the types for which the corresponding names are to be +changed. If either or both of +these mask bits are set but the specified types are illegal, +.I XkbSetNames +returns False and does not update any of the names specified in +.I which. +The specified types are illegal if +.I xkb +does not include a map component or if +.I first_type +and +.I num_types +specify types that are not defined in the keyboard description. +.SH STRUCTURES +.LP +The XkbNameChangesRec allows applications to identify small modifications to the +symbolic names and +effectively reduces the amount of traffic sent to the server: +.nf + + typedef struct _XkbNameChanges { + unsigned int changed; /\(** name components that have changed */ + unsigned char first_type; /\(** first key type with a new name */ + unsigned char num_types; /\(** number of types with new names */ + unsigned char first_lvl; /\(** first key type with new level names +*/ + unsigned char num_lvls; /\(** number of key types with new level +names */ + unsigned char num_aliases; /\(** if key aliases changed, total number +of key aliases */ + unsigned char num_rg; /\(** if radio groups changed, total +number of radio groups */ + unsigned char first_key; /\(** first key with a new name */ + unsigned char num_keys; /\(** number of keys with new names */ + unsigned short changed_vmods; /\(** mask of virtual modifiers for which +names have changed */ + unsigned long changed_indicators; /\(** mask of indicators for which names +were changed */ + unsigned char changed_groups; /\(** mask of groups for which names +were changed */ + } XkbNameChangesRec, *XkbNameChangesPtr + +.fi +The +.I changed +field specifies the name components that have changed and is the bitwise +inclusive OR of the valid names +mask bits defined in Table 1.
