.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
There are two ways to make changes to map components: either change a local copy
of the keyboard map and call
.I XkbSetMap
to send the modified map to the server, or, to reduce network traffic, use an
XkbMapChangesRec structure and call
.I XkbChangeMap.

Use
.I XkbSetMap
to send a complete new set of values for entire components (for example, all
symbols, all actions, and so on) to the server. The
.I which
parameter specifies the components to be sent to the server, and is a bitwise
inclusive OR of the masks listed in Table 1. The
.I xkb
parameter is a pointer to an XkbDescRec structure and contains the information
to be copied to the server. For each bit set in the
.I which
parameter,
.I XkbSetMap
takes the corresponding structure values from the
.I xkb
parameter and sends it to the server specified by
.IR dpy .

If any components specified by
.I which
are not present in the
.I xkb
parameter,
.I XkbSetMap
returns False. Otherwise, it sends the update request to the server and returns
True.
.I XkbSetMap
can generate BadAlloc, BadLength, and BadValue protocol errors.

Key types, symbol maps, and actions are all interrelated; changes in one require
changes in the others. Xkb provides functions to make it easier to edit these
components and handle the interdependencies. Table 1
lists these helper functions and provides a pointer to where they are defined.

The
.I changed
field identifies the map components that have changed in an XkbDescRec structure
and may contain any of the
bits in Table 1, which are also shown in Table 2. Every 1 bit in
.I changed
also identifies which other fields in the XkbMapChangesRec structure contain
valid values, as indicated in
Table 2. The
.I min_key_code
and
.I max_key_code
fields are for reference only; they are ignored on any requests sent to the
server and are always updated
by the server whenever it returns the data for an XkbMapChangesRec.

.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
True
The
.I XkbSetMap
function returns True all components specified by
.I which
are present in the
.I xkb
parameter.
.TP 15
False
The
.I XkbSetMap
function returns False if any component specified by
.I which
is not present in the
.I xkb
parameter.
.SH STRUCTURES
Use the XkbMapChangesRec structure to identify and track partial modifications
to the mapping components
and to reduce the amount of traffic between the server and clients.

The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec. The
component
structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb components.

The
.I display
field points to an X display structure. The
.I flags field is private to the library: modifying
.I flags
may yield unpredictable results. The
.I device_spec
field specifies the device identifier of the keyboard input device, or
XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core keyboard device. The
.I min_key_code
and
.I 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 3.
