(Display *dpy, unsigned int which, XkbDescPtr Xkb);

− dpy

connection to the X server

− which

mask of names or map components to be updated

DESCRIPTION

XkbGetNames retrieves symbolic names for the components of the keyboard extension from the X server. The which parameter specifies the name components to be updated in the xkb parameter, and is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in Table 1.

If the names field of the keyboard description xkb is NULL, XkbGetNames allocates and initializes the names component of the keyboard description before obtaining the values specified by which. If the names field of xkb is not NULL, XkbGetNames obtains the values specified by which and copies them into the keyboard description Xkb.

If the map component of the xkb parameter is NULL, XkbGetNames does not retrieve type or shift level names, even if XkbKeyTypeNamesMask or XkbKTLevelNamesMask are set in which.

XkbGetNames can return Success, or BadAlloc, BadLength, BadMatch, and BadImplementation errors.

To free symbolic names, use XkbFreeNames.
