.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I XkbGetNames
retrieves symbolic names for the components of the keyboard extension from the X server. The
.I which
parameter specifies the name components to be updated in the
.I xkb
parameter, and is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in Table 1.

If the
.I names
field of the keyboard description
.I xkb
is NULL,
.I XkbGetNames
allocates and initializes the
.I names
component of the keyboard description before obtaining the values specified by
.I which.
If the
.I names field of
.I xkb
is not NULL,
.I XkbGetNames
obtains the values specified by
.I which
and copies them into the keyboard description
.I Xkb.
If the
.I map
component of the
.I xkb
parameter is NULL,
.I XkbGetNames
does not retrieve type or shift level names, even if XkbKeyTypeNamesMask or XkbKTLevelNamesMask are set in
.I which.
.I XkbGetNames
can return Success, or BadAlloc, BadLength, BadMatch, and BadImplementation errors.
To free symbolic names, use
.I XkbFreeNames.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.B BadAlloc
Unable to allocate storage
.TP 15
.B BadImplementation
Invalid reply from server
.TP 15
.B BadLength
The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments
.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
