.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
The core X protocol allows only applications to explicitly sound the system bell
|
||
|
|
with a
|
||
|
|
given duration, pitch, and volume. Xkb extends this capability by allowing clients
|
||
|
|
to
|
||
|
|
attach symbolic names to bells, disable audible bells, and receive an event whenever
|
||
|
|
the
|
||
|
|
keyboard bell is rung. For the purposes of this document, the
|
||
|
|
.I audible
|
||
|
|
bell is defined to be the system bell, or the default keyboard bell, as opposed to
|
||
|
|
any
|
||
|
|
other audible sound generated elsewhere in the system.
|
||
|
|
You can ask to receive XkbBellNotify events when any client rings any one of the
|
||
|
|
following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
The default bell
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
Any bell on an input device that can be specified by a bell_class and bell_id pair
|
||
|
|
.IP \(bu 5
|
||
|
|
Any bell specified only by an arbitrary name. (This is, from the server's point of
|
||
|
|
view,
|
||
|
|
merely a name, and not connected with any physical sound-generating device. Some
|
||
|
|
client
|
||
|
|
application must generate the sound, or visual feedback, if any, that is associated
|
||
|
|
with
|
||
|
|
the name.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
You can also ask to receive XkbBellNotify events when the server rings the default
|
||
|
|
bell
|
||
|
|
or if any client has requested events only (without the bell sounding) for any of
|
||
|
|
the
|
||
|
|
bell types previously listed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can disable audible bells on a global basis. For example, a client that replaces
|
||
|
|
the
|
||
|
|
keyboard bell with some other audible cue might want to turn off the AudibleBell
|
||
|
|
control
|
||
|
|
to prevent the server from also generating a sound and avoid cacophony. If you
|
||
|
|
disable
|
||
|
|
audible bells and request to receive XkbBellNotify events, you can generate feedback
|
||
|
|
different from the default bell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can, however, override the AudibleBell control by calling one of the functions
|
||
|
|
that
|
||
|
|
force the ringing of a bell in spite of the setting of the AudibleBell control -
|
||
|
|
.I XkbForceDeviceBell
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.I XkbForceBell.
|
||
|
|
In this case the server does not generate a bell event.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just as some keyboards can produce keyclicks to indicate when a key is pressed or
|
||
|
|
repeating, Xkb can provide feedback for the controls by using special beep codes.
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
AccessXFeedback control is used to configure the specific types of operations that
|
||
|
|
generate feedback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B Bell Names
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can associate a name to an act of ringing a bell by converting the name to an
|
||
|
|
Atom
|
||
|
|
and then using this name when you call the functions listed in this chapter. If an
|
||
|
|
event
|
||
|
|
is generated as a result, the name is then passed to all other clients interested in
|
||
|
|
receiving XkbBellNotify events. Note that these are arbitrary names and that there
|
||
|
|
is no
|
||
|
|
binding to any sounds. Any sounds or other effects (such as visual bells on the
|
||
|
|
screen)
|
||
|
|
must be generated by a client application upon receipt of the bell event containing
|
||
|
|
the
|
||
|
|
name. There is no default name for the default keyboard bell. The server does
|
||
|
|
generate
|
||
|
|
some predefined bells for the AccessX controls. These named bells are shown in the
|
||
|
|
Table 1; the name is included in any bell event sent to clients that have requested to
|
||
|
|
receive XkbBellNotify events.

.B Audible Bells
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using Xkb you can generate bell events that do not necessarily ring the system bell.
|
||
|
|
This
|
||
|
|
is useful if you need to use an audio server instead of the system beep. For
|
||
|
|
example,
|
||
|
|
when an audio client starts, it could disable the audible bell (the system bell) and
|
||
|
|
then
|
||
|
|
listen for XkbBellNotify events. When it receives a XkbBellNotify event, the audio
|
||
|
|
client
|
||
|
|
could then send a request to an audio server to play a sound.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can control the audible bells feature by passing the XkbAudibleBellMask to
|
||
|
|
.I XkbChangeEnabledControls.
|
||
|
|
If you set XkbAudibleBellMask on, the server rings the system bell when a bell event
|
||
|
|
occurs. This is the default. If you set XkbAudibleBellMask off and a bell event
|
||
|
|
occurs,
|
||
|
|
the server does not ring the system bell unless you call
|
||
|
|
.I XkbForceDeviceBell
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.I XkbForceBell.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Audible bells are also part of the per-client auto-reset controls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bell Functions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the functions described in this section to ring bells and to generate bell
|
||
|
|
events.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The input extension has two types of feedbacks that can generate bells - bell
|
||
|
|
feedback
|
||
|
|
and keyboard feedback. Some of the functions in this section have
|
||
|
|
.I bell_class
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I bell_id
|
||
|
|
parameters; set them as follows: Set
|
||
|
|
.I bell_class
|
||
|
|
to BellFeedbackClass or KbdFeedbackClass. A device can have more than one feedback
|
||
|
|
of
|
||
|
|
each type; set
|
||
|
|
.I bell_id
|
||
|
|
to the particular bell feedback of
|
||
|
|
.I bell_class
|
||
|
|
type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Table 2 shows the conditions that cause a bell to sound or an XkbBellNotifyEvent to be generated when a bell function is
|
||
|
|
called.

|
||
|
|
|

You can call
|
||
|
|
.I XkbBell
|
||
|
|
without first initializing the keyboard extension.

The

Xkb generates XkbBellNotify events for all bells except for those resulting from
|
||
|
|
calls to
|
||
|
|
.I XkbForceDeviceBell
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I XkbForceBell.
|
||
|
|
To receive XkbBellNotify events under all possible conditions, pass
|
||
|
|
XkbBellNotifyMask in
|
||
|
|
both the
|
||
|
|
.I bits_to_change
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I values_for_bits
|
||
|
|
parameters to
|
||
|
|
.I XkbSelectEvents.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The XkbBellNotify event has no event details. It is either selected or it is not.
|
||
|
|
However, you can call
|
||
|
|
.I XkbSelectEventDetails
|
||
|
|
using XkbBellNotify as the
|
||
|
|
.I event_type
|
||
|
|
and specifying XkbAllBellNotifyMask in
|
||
|
|
.I bits_to_change
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I values_for_bits.
|
||
|
|
This has the same effect as a call to
|
||
|
|
.I XkbSelectEvents.
|
||
|
