.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- dpy
connection to X server
.TP
.I \- first
keycode of first key to get
.TP
.I \- num
number of keycodes for which syms desired
.TP
.I \- xkb
Xkb description to be updated
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I XkbGetKeySyms
sends a request to the server to obtain the set of keysyms bound to
.I num
keys starting with the key whose keycode is
.I first.
It waits for a reply and returns the keysyms in the
.I map.syms
field of
.I xkb.
If successful,
.I XkbGetKeySyms
returns Success. The
.I xkb
parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.
If the client
.I map
in the xkb parameter has not been allocated,
.I XkbGetKeySyms
allocates and initializes it before obtaining the symbols.
If a compatible version of Xkb is not available in the server or the Xkb
extension has not been properly initialized,
.I XkbGetKeySyms
returns BadAccess. If
.I num
is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount,
.I XkbGetKeySyms
returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur,
.I XkbGetKeySyms
returns BadAlloc.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
Success
The
.I XkbGetKeySyms
function returns Success if it gets a reply to a request to the server to obtain the set of keysyms bound to
