.BI "XkbDescPtr " "xkb" "\^,"
.BI "Bool " "update_actions" "\^);"

.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- display
connection to server
.TP
.I \- which
mask of compat map components to set
.TP
.I \- xkb
source for compat map components
.TP
.I \- update_actions
True => apply to server's keyboard map
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
To modify the server's compatibility map, first modify a local copy of the Xkb
compatibility map, then call
.I XkbSetCompatMap.
You may allocate a new compatibility map for this purpose using
.I XkbAllocCompatMap.
You may also use a compatibility map from another server, although you need to
adjust the
.I device_spec
field in the XkbDescRec accordingly. Note that symbol interpretations in a
compatibility map (
.I sym_interpret,
the vector of XkbSymInterpretRec structures) are also allocated using this same
function.
.I XkbSetCompatMap
copies compatibility map information from the keyboard description in
.I xkb
to the server specified in
.I display
's compatibility map for the device specified by the
.I device_spec
field of
.I xkb.
Unless you have specifically modified this field, it is the default keyboard
device.
.I which
specifies the compatibility map components to be set, and is an inclusive OR of
the bits shown in Table 1.
.TS

Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks
_
Mask Value Affecting
_
XkbSymInterpMask (1<<0) Symbol interpretations
XkbGroupCompatMask (1<<1) Group maps
XkbAllCompatMask (0x3) All compatibility map components
.TE
After updating its compatibility map for the specified device, if
.I update_actions
is True, the server applies the new compatibility map to its entire keyboard for
the device to generate a new set of key semantics, compatibility state, and a
new core keyboard map. If
.I update_actions
is False, the new compatibility map is not used to generate any modifications to
the current device semantics, state, or core keyboard map. One reason for not
applying the compatibility map immediately would be if one server was being
configured to match another on a piecemeal basis; the map should not be applied
until everything is updated. To force an update at a later time, use
.I XkbSetCompatMap
specifying
.I which
as zero and
.I update_actions
as True.
.I XkbSetCompatMap
returns True if successful and False if unsuccessful. The server may report
problems it encounters when processing the request subsequently via protocol
errors.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
True
The
.I XkbSetCompatMap
function returns True if successful.
.TP 15
False
The
.I XkbSetCompatMap
function returns False if unsuccessful.
.SH STRUCTURES
.LP
The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec. The
component
structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb components.
.nf
typedef struct {
struct _XDisplay * display; /\(** connection to X server */
unsigned short flags; /\(** private to Xkb, do not modify */
unsigned short device_spec; /\(** device of interest */
KeyCode min_key_code; /\(** minimum keycode for device */
KeyCode max_key_code; /\(** maximum keycode for device */
XkbControlsPtr ctrls; /\(** controls */
XkbServerMapPtr server; /\(** server keymap */
XkbClientMapPtr map; /\(** client keymap */
XkbIndicatorPtr indicators; /\(** indicator map */
XkbNamesPtr names; /\(** names for all components */
XkbCompatMapPtr compat; /\(** compatibility map */
XkbGeometryPtr geom; /\(** physical geometry of keyboard */
} XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;
.fi
The
.I display
field points to an X display structure. The
.I flags field is private to the library: modifying
.I flags
may yield unpredictable results. The
.I device_spec
field specifies the device identifier of the keyboard input device, or
XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core keyboard device. The
.I min_key_code
and
.I max_key_code
fields specify the least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the
keyboard.
Each structure component has a corresponding mask bit that is used in function
calls to
indicate that the structure should be manipulated in some manner, such as
allocating it
or freeing it. These masks and their relationships to the fields in the
XkbDescRec are
shown in Table 2.

The XkbSymInterpretRec structure specifies a symbol interpretation:
.nf
typedef struct {
KeySym sym; /\(** keysym of interest or NULL */
unsigned char flags; /\(** XkbSI_AutoRepeat, XkbSI_LockingKey */
unsigned char match; /\(** specifies how mods is interpreted */
unsigned char mods; /\(** modifier bits, correspond to eight real modifiers */
unsigned char virtual_mod; /\(** 1 modifier to add to key virtual mod map */
XkbAnyAction act; /\(** action to bind to symbol position on key */
} XkbSymInterpretRec,*XkbSymInterpretPtr;
