.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
.I XkbChangeNames
|
|
provides a more flexible method for changing symbolic names than
|
|
.I XkbSetNames
|
|
and requires the use of an XkbNameChangesRec structure.
|
|
|
|
.I XkbChangeNames
|
|
copies any names specified by
|
|
.I changes
|
|
from the keyboard description,
|
|
.I xkb,
|
|
to the X server specified by
|
|
.I dpy. XkbChangeNames
|
|
aborts and returns False if any illegal type names or type shift level names are
|
|
specified by changes.
|
|
|
|
To change the symbolic names in the server, first modify a local copy of the
|
|
keyboard description and then use either
|
|
.I XkbSetNames,
|
|
or, to save network traffic, use a XkbNameChangesRec structure and call
|
|
.I XkbChangeNames
|
|
to download the changes to the server.
|
|
.I XkbSetNames
|
|
and
|
|
.I XkbChangeNames
|
|
can generate BadAlloc, BadAtom, BadLength, BadMatch, and BadImplementation
|
|
errors.
|
|
.SH STRUCTURES
|
|
.LP
|
|
The XkbNameChangesRec allows applications to identify small modifications to the
|
|
symbolic names and
|
|
effectively reduces the amount of traffic sent to the server:
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
typedef struct _XkbNameChanges {
|
|
unsigned int changed; /\(** name components that have changed
|
|
*/
|
|
unsigned char first_type; /\(** first key type with a new name */
|
|
unsigned char num_types; /\(** number of types with new names */
|
|
unsigned char first_lvl; /\(** first key type with new level
|
|
names */
|
|
unsigned char num_lvls; /\(** number of key types with new level
|
|
names */
|
|
unsigned char num_aliases; /\(** if key aliases changed, total
|
|
number of key aliases */
|
|
unsigned char num_rg; /\(** if radio groups changed, total
|
|
number of radio groups */
|
|
unsigned char first_key; /\(** first key with a new name */
|
|
unsigned char num_keys; /\(** number of keys with new names */
|
|
unsigned short changed_vmods; /\(** mask of virtual modifiers for
|
|
which names have changed */
|
|
unsigned long changed_indicators; /\(** mask of indicators for which names
|
|
were changed */
|
|
unsigned char changed_groups; /\(** mask of groups for which names
|
|
were changed */
|
|
} XkbNameChangesRec, *XkbNameChangesPtr
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
The
|
|
.I changed
|
|
field specifies the name components that have changed and is the bitwise
|
|
inclusive OR of the valid names
|
|
mask bits defined in Table 1. The rest of the fields in the structure specify
|
|
the ranges that have changed
|
|
for the various kinds of symbolic names, as shown in Table 2.
|
|
|
|
Xkb provides several functions that work with symbolic names. Each of these
|
|
functions uses a mask to
|
|
specify individual fields of the structures described above. These masks and
|
|
their relationships to the
|
|
fields in a keyboard description are shown in Table 1.
