Once the +keyboard description is built, all or part of it may be returned to the client. +The parts returned to the client need not include all of the parts used to build +the description. At the time it requests the server to build a new keyboard +description, a client may also request that the server use the new description +internally to replace the current keyboard description for a specific device, in +which case the behavior of the device changes accordingly. + +To build a new keyboard description from a set of named components, and to +optionally have the server use the resulting description to replace an active +one, use +.I XkbGetKeyboardByName. + +.I names +contains a set of expressions describing the keyboard components the +server should use to build the new keyboard description. +.I want +and +.I need +are bit fields describing the parts of the resulting keyboard description that +should be present in the returned XkbDescRec. + +The individual fields in +.I names +are +.I component expressions +composed of keyboard component names (no wildcarding as may be used in +.I XkbListComponents), +the special component name symbol `%', and the special operator characters `+' +and `|'. A component expression is parsed left to right, as follows: + +.IP \(bu 5 +The special component name "computed" may be used in keycodes component +expressions and refers to a component consisting of a set of keycodes computed +automatically by the server as needed. +.IP \(bu 5 +The special component name "canonical" may be used in types component +expressions and refers to a partial component defining the four standard key +types: ALPHABETIC, ONE_LEVEL, TWO_LEVEL, and KEYPAD. +.IP \(bu 5 +The special component name `%' refers to the keyboard description for the device +specified in device_spec or the keymap names component. If a keymap names +component is specified that does not begin with `+' or `|' and does not contain +`%', then `%' refers to the description generated by the keymap names component. +Otherwise, it refers to the keyboard description for device_spec. +.IP \(bu 5 +The `+' operator specifies that the following component should override the +currently assembled description; any definitions that are present in both +components are taken from the second. +.IP \(bu 5 +The `|' operator specifies that the next specified component should augment the +currently assembled description; any definitions that are present in both +components are taken from the first. +.IP \(bu 5 +If the component expression begins with an operator, a leading `%' is implied. +.IP \(bu 5 +If any unknown or illegal characters appear anywhere in the expression, the +entire expression is invalid and is ignored. + +For example, if +.I names->symbols +contained the expression "+de", it specifies that +the default member of the "de" class of symbols should be applied to the current +keyboard mapping, overriding any existing definitions (it could also be written +"+de(default)"). + +Here is a slightly more involved example: the expression +"acme(ascii)+de(basic)|iso9995-3" constructs a German (de) mapping for the ASCII +keyboard supplied by the "acme" vendor. The new definition begins with the +symbols for the ASCII keyboard for Acme +.I (acme(ascii)), +overrides them with definitions for the basic German keyboard +.I (de(basic)), +and then applies the definitions from the default iso9995-3 keyboard +.I (iso9995-3) +to any undefined keys or groups of keys (part three of the iso9995 standard +defines a common set of bindings for the secondary group, but allows national +layouts to override those definitions where necessary). + +.B NOTE +The interpretation of the above expression components (acme, ascii, de, basic, +iso9995-3) is not defined by Xkb; only the operations and their ordering are. + +Note that the presence of a keymap +.I names +component that does not contain `%' (either explicit or implied by virtue of an +expression starting with an operator) indicates a description that is +independent of the keyboard description for the device specified in +.I device_spec. +The same is true of requests in which the keymap names component is empty and +all five other names components contain expressions void of references to `%'. +Requests of this form allow you to deal with keyboard definitions independent of +any actual device. + +The server parses all non-NULL fields in +.I names +and uses them to build a keyboard description. However, before parsing the +expressions in +.I names, +the server ORs the bits in +.I want +and +.I need +together and examines the result in relationship to the expressions in +.I names. +Table 1 identifies the components that are required for each of the possible +bits in +.I want +or +.I need. +If a required component has not been specified in the +.I names structure (the corresponding field is NULL), the server substitutes the +expression "%", resulting in the component values being taken from +.I device_spec. +In addition, if +.I load +is True, the server modifies +.I names +if necessary (again using a "%" entry) to ensure all of the following fields are +non-NULL: +.I types, keycodes, symbols, +and +.I compat. +.bp +.TS +c s s +l l l. +Table 1 Want and Need Mask Bits and Required Names Components +_ +want or need mask bit Required names Components value +_ +XkbGBN_TypesMask Types (1L<<0) +XkbGBN_CompatMapMask Compat (1L<<1) +XkbGBN_ClientSymbolsMask Types + Symbols + Keycodes (1L<<2) +XkbGBN_ServerSymbolsMask Types + Symbols + Keycodes (1L<<3) +XkbGBN_SymbolsMask Symbols (1L<<1) +XkbGBN_IndicatorMapMask Compat (1L<<4) +XkbGBN_KeyNamesMask Keycodes (1L<<5) +XkbGBN_GeometryMask Geometry (1L<<6) +XkbGBN_OtherNamesMask Types + Symbols + Keycodes + Compat + Geometry (1L<<7) +XkbGBN_AllComponentsMask (0xff) +.TE + +.I need +specifies a set of keyboard components that the server must be able to +resolve in order for +.I XkbGetKeyboardByName +to succeed; if any of the components specified in +.I need +cannot be successfully resolved, +.I XkbGetKeyboardByName +fails. + +.I want +specifies a set of keyboard components that the server should attempt to +resolve, but that are not mandatory. If the server is unable to resolve any of +these components, +.I XkbGetKeyboardByName +still succeeds. Bits specified in +.I want +that are also specified in +.I need +have no effect in the context of +.I want. + +If +.I load +is True, the server updates its keyboard description for +.I device_spec +to match the result of the keyboard description just built. If load is False, +the +server's description for device +.I device_spec +is not updated. In all cases, the parts specified by +.I want +and +.I need +from the just-built keyboard description are returned. + +The +.I names +structure in an XkbDescRec keyboard description record contains one field for +each of the five component types used to build a keyboard description. When a +keyboard description is built from a set of database components, the +corresponding fields in this +.I names +structure are set to match the expressions used to build the component. + +Building a New Keyboard Description from the Server Database + +The information returned to the client in the XkbDescRec is essentially the +result of a series of calls to extract information from a fictitious device +whose description matches the one just built.
