.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
To determine whether the X server allows Xkb access to particular capabilities of input devices other than the core X
keyboard, or to determine the status of indicator maps, indicator names or button actions on a non-KeyClass extension
device, use
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo.
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo
returns information about the input device specified by
.I device_spec.
Unlike the
.I device_spec
parameter of most Xkb functions,
.I device_spec
does not need to be a keyboard device. It must, however, indicate either the core keyboard or a valid X Input Extension
device.
The
.I which
parameter is a mask specifying optional information to be returned. It is an inclusive OR of one or more of the values from
Table 1 and causes the returned XkbDeviceInfoRec to contain values for the corresponding fields specified in the table.
.nf

____________________________________________________________________________________
XkbXI_KeyboardsMask (1L <<0) Clients can use all
Xkb requests and events

supported by the input
device extension.
XkbXI_ButtonActionsMask num_btns (1L <<1) Clients can assign key
btn_acts actions to buttons
non-KeyClass input
extension devices.
XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask leds->names (1L <<2) Clients can assign
names to indicators on
non-KeyClass input
extension devices.
XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask leds->maps (1L <<3) Clients can assign
indicator maps to
indicators on
non-KeyClass input
extension devices.
XkbXI_IndicatorStateMask leds->state (1L <<4) Clients can request
the status of indicators
on non-KeyClass input
extension devices.

.fi
The XkbDeviceInfoRec returned by
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo
always has values for
.I name
(may be a null string, ""),
.I type, supported, unsupported, has_own_state, dflt_kbd_fd,
and
.I dflt_kbd_fb.
Other fields are filled in as specified by
.I which.
Upon return, the
.I supported
field will be set to the inclusive OR of zero or more bits from Table 1; each bit set indicates an optional Xkb extension
device feature supported by the server implementation, and a client may modify the associated behavior.
If the XkbButtonActionsMask bit is set in
.I which,
the XkbDeviceInfoRec returned will have the button actions
.I (btn_acts
field) filled in for all buttons.
If
.I which
includes one of the bits in XkbXI_IndicatorsMask, the feedback class of the indicators must be specified in
.I ind_class,
and the feedback ID of the indicators must be specified in
.I ind_id.
If the request does not include any of the bits in XkbXI_IndicatorsMask, the
.I ind_class
and
.I ind_id
parameters are ignored. The class and ID can be obtained via the input device extension
.I XListInputDevices
request.
If any of the XkbXI_IndicatorsMask bits are set in
.I which,
the XkbDeviceInfoRec returned will have filled in the portions of the
.I leds
structure corresponding to the indicator feedback identified by
.I ind_class
and
.I ind_id.
The
.I leds
vector of the XkbDeviceInfoRec is allocated if necessary and
.I sz_leds
and
.I num_leds
filled in. The
.I led_class, led_id
and
.I phys_indicators
fields of the
.I leds
entry corresponding to
.I ind_class
and
.I ind_id
are always filled in. If
.I which
contains XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask, the
.I names_present
and
.I names
fields of the
.I leds
structure corresponding to
.I ind_class
and
.I ind_id
are returned. If
.I which
contains XkbXI_IndicatorStateMask, the corresponding
.I state
field is updated. If
.I which
contains XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask, the
.I maps_present
and
.I maps
fields are updated.
Xkb provides convenience functions to request subsets of the information available via
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo.
These convenience functions mirror some of the mask bits. The functions all take an XkbDeviceInfoPtr as an input argument
and operate on the X Input Extension device specified by the
.I device_spec
field of the structure. Only the parts of the structure indicated in the function description are updated. The
XkbDeviceInfoRec structure used in the function call can be obtained by calling
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo
or can be allocated by calling
.I XkbAllocDeviceInfo.
.SH STRUCTURES
.LP
Information about X Input Extension devices is transferred between a client program and the Xkb extension in an
XkbDeviceInfoRec structure:
.nf
typedef struct {
char * name; /\(** name for device */
Atom type; /\(** name for class of devices */
unsigned short device_spec; /\(** device of interest */
Bool has_own_state; /\(** True=>this device has its own state */
unsigned short supported; /\(** bits indicating supported capabilities */
unsigned short unsupported; /\(** bits indicating unsupported capabilities */
unsigned short num_btns; /\(** number of entries in btn_acts */
XkbAction * btn_acts; /\(** button actions */
unsigned short sz_leds; /\(** total number of entries in LEDs vector */
unsigned short num_leds; /\(** number of valid entries in LEDs vector */
unsigned short dflt_kbd_fb; /\(** input extension ID of default (core kbd) indicator */
unsigned short dflt_led_fb; /\(** input extension ID of default indicator feedback */
XkbDeviceLedInfoPtr leds; /\(** LED descriptions */
} XkbDeviceInfoRec, *XkbDeviceInfoPtr;
