XkbGetIndicatorMap \- Gets the map for one or more indicators, using a mask to 
specify the indicators

.BI "unsigned int " "which" "\^,"
.BI "XkbDescPtr " "desc" "\^);"

.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP

connection to the X server
.TP
.I \- which
mask of indicators for which maps should be returned
.TP
.I \- desc
keyboard description to be updated
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Xkb allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two 
different methods. The first method, which is similar to the core X 
implementation, uses a mask to specify the indicators. The second method, which 
is more suitable for applications concerned with interoperability, uses 
indicator names. The correspondence between the indicator name and the bit 
position in masks is as follows: one of the parameters returned from
.I XkbGetNamedIndicators 
is an index that is the bit position to use in any function call that requires a 
mask of indicator bits, as well as the indicator's index into the 
XkbIndicatorRec array of indicator maps.


.I XkbGetIndicatorMap 
obtains the maps from the server for only those indicators specified by the 
.I which 
mask and copies the values into the keyboard description specified by 
.I desc. 
If the 
.I indicators 
field of the 
.I desc 
parameter is NULL, 
.I XkbGetIndicatorMap 
allocates and initializes it.

To free the indicator maps, use 
.I XkbFreeIndicatorMaps.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.B BadAlloc
Unable to allocate storage
.TP 15
.B BadMatch
A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has 
correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
.TP 15
.B BadImplementation
Invalid reply from server
