connection to server

keycode of first key to fetch

.I num
number of keys for which to get explicit info
.TP
.I xkb
Xkb description in which to put results
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Whenever a client remaps the keyboard using core protocol requests, Xkb examines 
the map to determine likely default values for the components that cannot be 
specified using the core protocol (see Core Keyboard Mapping to Xkb Keyboard 
Mapping Transformation for more information on how Xkb chooses the default 
values).

DO THE FOUR PAGES OF "CORE KEYBOARD MAPPING TO XKB KEYBOARD MAPPING 
TRANSFORMATION" NEED TO BE ADDED HERE?

This automatic remapping might replace definitions explicitly requested by an 
application, so the Xkb keyboard description defines an explicit components mask 
for each key. Any aspects of the automatic remapping listed in the explicit 
components mask for a key are not changed by the automatic keyboard mapping.
 
The explicit components masks are held in the 
.I explicit 
field of the server map, which is an array indexed by keycode. Each entry in 
this array is a mask that is a bitwise inclusive OR of the values shown in Table 
1.

.TE

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

If the 
.I server 
map in the 
.I xkb 
parameter has not been allocated, 
.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents 
allocates and initializes it before obtaining the actions.

If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension 
has not been properly initialized, 
.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents 
returns BadMatch. If 
.I num 
is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount, 
.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents 
returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, 
.I XkbGetKeyExplicitComponents 
returns BadAlloc.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.B BadAlloc
Unable to allocate storage
.TP 15
.B BadMatch
A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has 
correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
.TP 15
.B BadValue
An argument is out of range
