ARGUMENTS

       dpy    connection to the X server

       which  mask of names or map components to be updated

       xkb    keyboard description to be updated

DESCRIPTION

       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.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadImplementation
                      Invalid reply from server

       BadLength      The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally  contain  the
                      arguments

       BadMatch       A  compatible  version  of  Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has correct
                      type and range, but is otherwise invalid
