NAME¶
XkbGetControls - Finds the current state of Xkb server controls
SYNOPSIS¶
Status XkbGetControls (Display
  *display, unsigned long which,
  XkbDescPtr xkb);
ARGUMENTS¶
  - - display
 
  - connection to X server
 
  - - which
 
  - mask of controls requested
 
  - - xkb
 
  - keyboard description for controls information
 
DESCRIPTION¶
XkbGetControls queries the server for the requested control information,
  waits for a reply, and then copies the server's values for the requested
  information into the 
ctrls structure of the 
xkb argument. Only
  those components specified by the 
which parameter are copied. Valid
  values for 
which are any combination of the masks listed in Table 1
  that have "ok" in the 
which column.
Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select
  controls for modification and to enable and disable the control. Note that the
  same mask bit is used to specify general modifications to the parameters used
  to configure the control (which), and to enable and disable the control
  (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in Table 1 (no "ok" in column) are
  for controls that have no configurable attributes; and for controls that are
  not boolean controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

If 
xkb->ctrls is NULL, 
XkbGetControls allocates and initializes
  it before obtaining the values specified by 
which. If
  
xkb->ctrls is not NULL, 
XkbGetControls modifies only those
  portions of 
xkb->ctrls corresponding to the values specified by
  
which.
XkbGetControls returns Success if successful; otherwise, it returns
  BadAlloc if it cannot obtain sufficient storage, BadMatch if 
xkb is
  NULL or 
which is empty, or BadImplementation.
To free the 
ctrls member of a keyboard description, use
  
XkbFreeControls.
The 
num_groups field in the 
ctrls structure is always filled in by
  
XkbGetControls, regardless of which bits are selected by 
which.
RETURN VALUES¶
  - Success
 
  - The XkbGetControls function returns Success if successful.
 
DIAGNOSTICS¶
  - BadAlloc
 
  - Unable to allocate storage
 
  - BadImplementation
 
  - Invalid reply from server
 
  - BadMatch
 
  - A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument
      has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
