NAME

XkbAllocDeviceInfo − Obtain an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure

SYNOPSIS

XkbDeviceInfoPtr XkbAllocDeviceInfo

(unsigned int device_spec, unsigned

int n_buttons, unsigned int sz_leds);

ARGUMENTS

− device_spec

device ID with which structure will be used

− n_buttons

number of button actions to allocate space for

− sz_leds

number of LED feedbacks to allocate space for

DESCRIPTION

XkbAllocDeviceInfo allocates space for an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure and initializes that structure’s device_spec field with the device ID specified by device_spec. If n_buttons is nonzero, n_buttons XkbActions are linked into the XkbDeviceInfoRec structure and initialized to zero. If sz_leds is nonzero, sz_leds XkbDeviceLedInfoRec structures are also allocated and linked into the XkbDeviceInfoRec structure. If you request XkbDeviceLedInfoRec structures be allocated using this request, you must initialize them explicitly.

To obtain an XkbDeviceLedInfoRec structure, use XkbAllocDeviceLedInfo.

STRUCTURES

Information about X Input Extension devices is transferred between a client program and the Xkb extension in an XkbDeviceInfoRec structure:

typedef struct {
char * name; /∗ name for device */
Atom type; /∗ name for class of devices */
unsigned short device_spec; /∗ device of interest */
Bool has_own_state; /∗ True=>this device has its own state */
unsigned short supported; /∗ bits indicating supported capabilities */
unsigned short unsupported; /∗ bits indicating unsupported capabilities */
unsigned short num_btns; /∗ number of entries in btn_acts */
XkbAction * btn_acts; /∗ button actions */
unsigned short sz_leds; /∗ total number of entries in LEDs vector */
unsigned short num_leds; /∗ number of valid entries in LEDs vector */
unsigned short dflt_kbd_fb; /∗ input extension ID of default (core kbd) indicator */
unsigned short dflt_led_fb; /∗ input extension ID of default indicator feedback */
XkbDeviceLedInfoPtr leds; /∗ LED descriptions */
} XkbDeviceInfoRec, *XkbDeviceInfoPtr;

typedef struct {
unsigned short led_class; /∗ class for this LED device*/
unsigned short led_id; /∗ ID for this LED device */
unsigned int phys_indicators; /∗ bits for which LEDs physically present */
unsigned int maps_present; /∗ bits for which LEDs have maps in maps */
unsigned int names_present; /∗ bits for which LEDs are in names */
unsigned int state; /∗ 1 bit => corresponding LED is on */
Atom names[XkbNumIndicators]; /∗ names for LEDs */
XkbIndicatorMapRec maps; /∗ indicator maps for each LED */
} XkbDeviceLedInfoRec, *XkbDeviceLedInfoPtr;

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
