NAME

       XkbGetKeySyms - Obtain the symbols for a subset of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetKeySyms (Display *dpy, unsigned int first, unsigned int num, XkbDescPtr xkb);

ARGUMENTS

       dpy    connection to X server

       first  keycode of first key to get

       num    number of keycodes for which syms desired

       xkb    Xkb description to be updated

DESCRIPTION

       XkbGetKeySyms  sends a request to the server to obtain the set of keysyms bound to num keys starting with
       the key whose keycode is first.  It waits for a reply and returns the keysyms in the  map.syms  field  of
       xkb.   If  successful,  XkbGetKeySyms returns Success. The xkb parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb
       keyboard description.

       If the client map in the xkb parameter has not been allocated, XkbGetKeySyms allocates and initializes it
       before obtaining the symbols.

       If a compatible version of Xkb is not available in the server or the Xkb extension has not been  properly
       initialized,  XkbGetKeySyms  returns  BadAccess.  If  num  is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount,
       XkbGetKeySyms returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, XkbGetKeySyms returns BadAlloc.

RETURN VALUES

       Success        The XkbGetKeySyms function returns Success if it gets a reply to a request to  the  server
                      to  obtain  the  set  of  keysyms bound to num keys starting with the key whose keycode is
                      first.
