NAME

XkbAllocDeviceLedInfo − Obtain an XkbDeviceLedInfoRec structure

SYNOPSIS

Status XkbAllocDeviceLedInfo

(XkbDeviceInfoPtr device_info, int

num_needed);

ARGUMENTS

− device_info

structure in which to allocate LED space

− num_needed

number of indicators to allocate space for

DESCRIPTION

XkbAllocDeviceLedInfo allocates space for an XkbDeviceLedInfoRec and places it in device_info. If num_needed is nonzero, num_needed XkbIndicatorMapRec structures are also allocated and linked into the XkbDeviceLedInfoRec structure. If you request XkbIndicatorMapRec structures be allocated using this request, you must initialize them explicitly. All other fields are initialized to zero.

To initialize an XkbDeviceLedInfoRec structure, use XkbAddDeviceLedInfo.

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;

Each indicator has its own set of attributes that specify whether clients can explicitly set its state and whether it tracks the keyboard state. The attributes of each indicator are held in the maps array, which is an array of XkbIndicatorRec structures:

typedef struct {
unsigned char flags; /∗ how the indicator can be changed */
unsigned char which_groups; /∗ match criteria for groups */
unsigned char groups; /∗ which keyboard groups the indicator watches */
unsigned char which_mods; /∗ match criteria for modifiers */
XkbModsRec mods; /∗ which modifiers the indicator watches */
unsigned int ctrls; /∗ which controls the indicator watches */
} XkbIndicatorMapRec, *XkbIndicatorMapPtr;

This indicator map specifies for each indicator:

	•		The conditions under which the keyboard modifier state affects the indicator
	•		The conditions under which the keyboard group state affects the indicator
	•		The conditions under which the state of the boolean controls affects the indicator
	•		The effect (if any) of attempts to explicitly change the state of the indicator using the functions XkbSetControls or XChangeKeyboardControl

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.
