Obtain a core protocol +representation of a keyboard mapping from an actual server (by using +.I XGetKeyboardMapping, +for example), a data file, or some other source. + +.I XkbUpdateMapFromCore +interprets input argument information representing a keyboard map in core format +to update the Xkb keyboard description passed in +.I xkb. +Only a portion of the Xkb map is updated - the portion corresponding to keys +with keycodes in the range +.I first_key +through +.I first_key + num_keys - 1. +If +.I XkbUpdateMapFromCore +is being called in response to a MappingNotify event, +.I first_key +and +.I num_keys +are reported in the MappingNotify event. +.I core_keysyms +contains the keysyms corresponding to the keycode range being updated, in core +keyboard description order. +.I map_width +is the number of keysyms per key in +.I core_keysyms. +Thus, the first +.I map_width +entries in +.I core_keysyms +are for the key with keycode +.I first_key, +the next +.I map_width +entries are for key +.I first_key + 1, +and so on. + +In addition to modifying the Xkb keyboard mapping in +.I xkb, XkbUpdateMapFromCore +backfills the changes structure whose address is passed in +.I changes +to indicate the modifications that were made. You may then use +.I changes +in subsequent calls such as +.I XkbSetMap, +to propagate the local modifications to a server. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR XkbSetMap (__libmansuffix__) |
