.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- dpy
connection to the X server
.TP
.I \- xkb
keyboard description from which names are to be taken.
.TP
.I \- changes
indicators to be updated on the server

.I \- state
new state of indicators listed in changes->state_changes
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The XkbIndicatorChangesRec identifies small modifications to the indicator map.
Use it with the function
.I XkbChangeIndicators
to reduce the amount of traffic sent to the server (see STRUCTURES).
The
.I state_changes
field is a mask that specifies the indicators that have changed state, and
.I map_changes
is a mask that specifies the indicators whose maps have changed.
.I XkbChangeIndicators
copies any maps specified by
.I changes
from the keyboard description,
.I xkb,
to the server specified by
.I dpy.
If any bits are set in the
.I state_changes
field of
.I changes, XkbChangeIndicators
also sets the state of those indicators to the values specified in the
.I state
mask. A 1 bit in
.I state
turns the corresponding indicator on, a 0 bit turns it off.
In addition, it can also generate XkbIndicatorStateNotify and
XkbIndicatorMapNotify events.
Whenever an indicator changes state, the server sends XkbIndicatorStateNotify events
to all interested clients. Similarly, whenever an indicator's map changes, the
server sends XkbIndicatorMapNotify events to all interested clients.
To receive XkbIndicatorStateNotify events, use
.I XkbSelectEvents
with both the
.I bits_to_change
and
.I values_for_bits
parameters containing XkbIndicatorStateNotifyMask. To receive XkbIndicatorMapNotify
events, use
.I XkbSelectEvents
with XkbIndicatorMapNotifyMask.
To receive events for only specific indicators, use
.I XkbSelectEventDetails.
Set the
.I event_type
parameter to XkbIndicatorStateNotify or XkbIndicatorMapNotify, and set both the
.I bits_to_change
and
.I values_for_bits
detail parameters to a mask where each bit specifies one indicator, turning on those
bits that specify the indicators for which you want to receive events.
.I xkb_type
is either XkbIndicatorStateNotify or XkbIndicatorMapNotify, depending on whether the
event is a kbIndicatorStateNotify event or kbIndicatorMapNotify event.
The
.I changed
parameter is a mask that is the bitwise inclusive OR of the indicators that have
changed. If the event is of type XkbIndicatorMapNotify,
.I changed
reports the maps that changed. If the event is of type XkbIndicatorStateNotify,
.I changed
reports the indicators that have changed state.
.I state
is a mask that specifies the current state of all indicators, whether they have
changed or not, for both XkbIndicatorStateNotify and IndicatorMapNotify events.
.SH STRUCTURES
.LP
.nf
typedef struct _XkbIndicatorChanges {
unsigned int state_changes;
unsigned int map_changes;
}XkbIndicatorChangesRec,*XkbIndicatorChangesPtr;
.fi
Both types of indicator events use the same structure:
.nf
typedef struct _XkbIndicatorNotify {
int type; /\(** Xkb extension base event code */
unsigned long serial; /\(** X server serial number for event */
Bool send_event; /\(** True => synthetically generated */
Display * display; /\(** server connection where event generated */
Time time; /\(** server time when event generated */
int xkb_type; /\(** specifies state or map notify */
int device; /\(** Xkb device ID, will not be XkbUseCoreKbd*/
unsigned int changed; /\(** mask of indicators with new state or map */
unsigned int state; /\(** current state of all indicators */
} XkbIndicatorNotifyEvent;
.fi
