NAME
XkbFreeClientMap - Free memory used by the client map member of an
XkbDescRec structure
SYNOPSIS
void XkbFreeClientMap (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, Bool
free_all);
ARGUMENTS
- xkb keyboard description containing client map to free
- which
mask identifying components of map to free
- free_all
True => free all client components and map itself
DESCRIPTION
XkbFreeClientMap frees the components of client map specified by which
in the XkbDescRec structure specified by the xkb parameter and sets the
corresponding structure component values to NULL. The which parameter
specifies a combination of the client map masks shown in Table 1.
If free_all is True, which is ignored; XkbFreeClientMap frees every
non-NULL structure component in the client map, frees the
XkbClientMapRec structure referenced by the map member of the xkb
parameter, and sets the map member to NULL.
Table 1 XkbAllocClientMap Masks
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mask Effect
--------------------------------------------------------------
XkbKeyTypesMask The type_count field specifies the
number of entries to preallocate for the
types field of the client map. If the
type_count field is less than
XkbNumRequiredTypes returns BadValue.
XkbKeySymsMask The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
of the xkb parameter are used to
allocate the syms and key_sym_map fields
of the client map. The fields are
allocated to contain the maximum number
of entries necessary for max_key_code -
min_key_code + 1 keys.
XkbModifierMapMask The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
of the xkb parameter are used to
allocate the modmap field of the client
map. The field is allocated to contain
the maximum number of entries necessary
for max_key_code - min_key_code + 1
keys.
NOTE: The min_key_code and max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter
must be legal values if the XkbKeySymsMask or XkbModifierMapMask masks
are set in the which parameter. If they are not valid,
XkbAllocClientMap returns BadValue.
STRUCTURES
The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec.
The component structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb
components.
typedef struct {
struct _XDisplay * display; /∗ connection to X server */
unsigned short flags; /∗ private to Xkb, do not modify */
unsigned short device_spec; /∗ device of interest */
KeyCode min_key_code; /∗ minimum keycode for device */
KeyCode max_key_code; /∗ maximum keycode for device */
XkbControlsPtr ctrls; /∗ controls */
XkbServerMapPtr server; /∗ server keymap */
XkbClientMapPtr map; /∗ client keymap */
XkbIndicatorPtr indicators; /∗ indicator map */
XkbNamesPtr names; /∗ names for all components */
XkbCompatMapPtr compat; /∗ compatibility map */
XkbGeometryPtr geom; /∗ physical geometry of keyboard */
} XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;
The display field points to an X display structure. The flags field is
private to the library: modifying flags may yield unpredictable
results. The device_spec field specifies the device identifier of the
keyboard input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core
keyboard device. The min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the
least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard.
Each structure component has a corresponding mask bit that is used in
function calls to indicate that the structure should be manipulated in
some manner, such as allocating it or freeing it. These masks and their
relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown in Table 2.

The map field of the complete Xkb keyboard description is a pointer to
the Xkb client map, which is of type XkbClientMapRec:
typedef struct { /∗ Client Map */
unsigned char size_types; /∗ # occupied entries in types */
unsigned char num_types; /∗ # entries in types */
XkbKeyTypePtr types; /∗ vector of key types used by this keymap */
unsigned short size_syms; /∗ length of the syms array */
unsigned short num_syms; /∗ # entries in syms */
KeySym * syms; /∗ linear 2d tables of keysyms, 1 per key */
XkbSymMapPtr key_sym_map; /∗ 1 per keycode, maps keycode to syms */
unsigned char * modmap; /∗ 1 per keycode, real mods bound to key */
} XkbClientMapRec, *XkbClientMapPtr;
