NAME¶
XkbIgnoreExtension - Prevents core X library keyboard functions from using the X
Keyboard Extension
SYNOPSIS¶
Bool
XkbIgnoreExtension (Bool *ignore);
ARGUMENTS¶
- ignore
- True means ignore the extension
DESCRIPTION¶
If a server supports the Xkb extension, the X library normally implements preXkb
keyboard functions using the Xkb keyboard description and state. The server
Xkb keyboard state may differ from the preXkb keyboard state. This difference
does not affect most clients, but there are exceptions. To allow these clients
to work properly, you may instruct the extension not to use Xkb functionality.
Call
XkbIgnoreExtension to prevent core X library keyboard functions from
using the X Keyboard Extension. You must call
XkbIgnoreExtension before
you open a server connection; Xkb does not provide a way to enable or disable
use of the extension once a connection is established.
XkbIgnoreExtension tells the X library whether to use the X Keyboard
Extension on any subsequently opened X display connections. If ignore is True,
the library does not initialize the Xkb extension when it opens a new display.
This forces the X server to use compatibility mode and communicate with the
client using only core protocol requests and events. If ignore is False, the
library treats subsequent calls to
XOpenDisplay normally and uses Xkb
extension requests, events, and state. Do not explicitly use Xkb on a
connection for which it is disabled.
XkbIgnoreExtension returns False
if it was unable to apply the ignore request.
RETURN VALUES¶
- True
- The XkbIgnoreExtension returns True if
- False
- The XkbIgnoreExtension function returns False if it
was unable to apply the ignore request.
