.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I XkbGetKeyActions
sends a request to the server to obtain the actions for
.I num
keys on the keyboard starting with key
.I first.
It waits for a reply and returns the actions in the
.I server->key_acts
field of
.I xkb.
If successful,
.I XkbGetKeyActions
returns Success. The
.I xkb
parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.
If the
.I server
map, in the
.I xkb
parameter, has not been allocated,
.I XkbGetKeyActions
allocates and initializes it before obtaining the actions.
If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension
has not been properly initialized,
.I XkbGetKeyActions
returns BadAccess. If
.I num
is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount,
.I XkbGetKeyActions
returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur,
.I XkbGetKeyActions
returns BadAlloc.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS

.B BadAccess
The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized
.TP 15
.B BadAlloc
Unable to allocate storage
.TP 15
