|
|
|
|
XIQueryDevice, XIFreeDeviceInfo - get information about devices.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
#include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>
|
|
|
|
XIDeviceInfo* XIQueryDevice( Display *display,
|
|
int deviceid,
|
|
int *ndevices_return);
|
|
|
|
XIFreeDeviceInfo( XIDeviceInfo *info);
|
|
|
|
deviceid
|
|
Specifies the device to query or XIAllDevices or
|
|
XIAllMasterDevices.
|
|
|
|
display
|
|
Specifies the connection to the X server.
|
|
|
|
ndevices_return
|
|
Returns the number of devices returned.
|
|
|
|
info
|
|
A list of device XIDeviceInfo structs to be freed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The XIQueryDevice returns information about one or more input
|
|
devices. If the deviceid specifies a device, ndevices_return is
|
|
1 and the returned information describes only the requested
|
|
device. If deviceid is XIAllDevices or XIAllMasterDevices,
|
|
ndevices_return is the number of devices or master devices,
|
|
respectively, and the returned information represents all
|
|
devices or all master devices, respectively.
|
|
|
|
To free the XIDeviceInfo array returned by XIQueryDevice, use
|
|
XIFreeDeviceInfo.
|
|
|
|
For each input device requested, the XIQueryDevice returns an
|
|
XIDeviceInfo structure. Each structure contains information
|
|
about the capabilities of one input device available to the
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
typedef struct
|
|
{
|
|
int deviceid;
|
|
char *name;
|
|
int use;
|
|
int attachment;
|
|
Bool enabled;
|
|
int num_classes;
|
|
XIAnyClassInfo **classes;
|
|
} XIDeviceInfo;
|
|
|
|
The deviceid is the numeric unique id of the device. A deviceid
|
|
is unique for the life-time of a device but a server may re-use
|
|
the id once a device has been removed.
|
|
|
|
The name points to a null-terminated string specifying the
|
|
identifier of the device.
|
|
|
|
The use and attachment fields specify the type of the device
|
|
and the current attachment or pairing.
|
|
- If use is XIMasterPointer, the device is a master pointer and
|
|
attachment specifies the deviceid of the paired master
|
|
keyboard.
|
|
- If use is XIMasterKeyboard, the device is a master keyboard,
|
|
and the attachment field specifies the paired master pointer.
|
|
- If use is XISlavePointer, the device is a slave device and
|
|
currently attached to the master pointer specified in
|
|
attachement.
|
|
- If use is XISlaveKeyboard, the device is a slave device an
|
|
currently attached to the master keyboard specified in
|
|
attachment.
|
|
- If use is XIFloatingSlave, the device is a slave device
|
|
currently not attached to any master device. The value of the
|
|
attachment field for floating slave devices is undefined.
|
|
|
|
The enabled field specifies if the device is currently enabled
|
|
and can send events. Disabled devices will not send events.
|
|
|
|
The num_classes field specifies the number of input classes
|
|
pointed to by classes. The first two fields of all input
|
|
classes are identical.
|
|
|
|
typedef struct
|
|
{
|
|
int type;
|
|
int sourceid;
|
|
} XIAnyClassInfo;
|
|
|
|
The type field specifies the type of the input class.
|
|
Currently, the following types are defined:
|
|
XIKeyClass, XIButtonClass, XIValuatorClass
|
|
|
|
In the future, additional types may be added. Clients are
|
|
required to ignore unknown input classes.
|
|
|
|
The sourceid is the deviceid this class originated from. For
|
|
master devices, the sourceid is typically the id of the slave
|
|
device currently sending events. For slave devices, the
|
|
sourceid is typically the device's id.
|
|
|
|
A device may have zero or one XIButtonClass, denoting the
|
|
device's capability to send button events.
|
|
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
int mask_len;
|
|
unsigned char *mask;
|
|
} XIButtonState;
|
|
|
|
typedef struct
|
|
{
|
|
int type;
|
|
int sourceid;
|
|
int num_buttons;
|
|
Atom *labels;
|
|
XIButtonState state;
|
|
} XIButtonClassInfo;
|
|
|
|
The num_buttons field specifies the number of buttons available
|
|
on this device. A device that has an XIButtonClass must have at
|
|
least one button.
|
|
|
|
labels is a list of num_buttons Atoms specifying the button
|
|
labels for this device. If the label is not None, then the
|
|
label specifies the type of button in physical device order
|
|
(i.e. as the buttons are numbered on the physical input
|
|
device).
|
|
|
|
The state is the current button state as seen by clients (i.e.
|
|
after button mapping is applied). The mask_len field specifies
|
|
the length of mask in bytes. For each button on the device, the
|
|
respective bit in mask is set if the button is currently
|
|
logically down.
|
|
|
|
A device may have zero or one XIKeyClass, denoting the device's
|
|
capability to send key events.
|
|
|
|
typedef struct
|
|
{
|
|
int type;
|
|
int sourceid;
|
|
int num_keycodes;
|
|
int *keycodes;
|
|
} XIKeyClassInfo;
|
|
|
|
The num_keycodes field specifies the number of keycodes
|
|
available on this device. A device that has an XIKeyClass must
|
|
have at least one keycode.
|
|
|
|
keycodes is a list of num_keycodes keycodes the device may
|
|
send.
|
|
|
|
A device may have zero or more XIValuatorClass, denoting the
|
|
device's capability to send coordinates.
|
|
|
|
typedef struct
|
|
{
|
|
int type;
|
|
int sourceid;
|
|
int number;
|
|
Atom label;
|
|
double min;
|
|
double max;
|
|
double value;
|
|
int resolution;
|
|
int mode;
|
|
} XIValuatorInfo;
|
|
|
|
The number field specifies the number of the axis on the
|
|
physical device.
|
|
|
|
If the label field is not None, the value of label is an Atom
|
|
describing the axis.
|
|
|
|
min and max are the minimum and maximum values allowed on this
|
|
axis. If both are zero, no minumum or maximum values are set on
|
|
this device. value is the current value of this axis.
|
|
|
|
The resolution field specifies the resolution of the device in
|
|
units/m.
|
|
|
|
The mode specifies the mode of this axis. If the mode is
|
|
XIModeAbsolute this axis sends absolute coordinates. If the
|
|
mode is XIModeRelative, this device sends relative coordinates.
|
|
|
|
XIQueryDevice can generate a BadDevice error.
|
|
|
|
XIFreeDeviceInfo frees the information returned by
|
|
XIQueryDevice.
