NAME

       XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap  -  Obtain the virtual modifier map (the vmodmap
       array) for a subset of the keys in a keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to server

       - first
              keycode of first key to fetch

       - num  number of keys for which virtual mod maps are desired

       - xkb  Xkb description where results will be placed

DESCRIPTION

       XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap  sends  a  request  to  the server to obtain the
       virtual modifier mappings for num keys on the  keyboard  starting  with
       key  first.   It  waits  for  a  reply and returns the virtual modifier
       mappings  in  the  server->vmodmap  array  of  xkb.    If   successful,
       XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap  returns  Success.  The  xkb parameter must be a
       pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.

       If the server  map  in  the  xkb  parameter  has  not  been  allocated,
       XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap  allocates  and  initializes it before obtaining
       the virtual modifier mappings.

       If the server does not have a compatible version of  Xkb,  or  the  Xkb
       extension  has  not  been  properly initialized, XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap
       returns BadMatch. If num is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount,
       XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap  returns  BadValue.  If  any  allocation  errors
       occur, XkbGetKeyVirtualModMap returns BadAlloc.

RETURN VALUES

       Success        The  XkbGetKeyVirutalModmap  function  returns   Success
                      following  a  successful reply from the server to obtain
                      the virtual  modifier  mappings  for  num  keys  on  the
                      keyboard starting with key first.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

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

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
