XkbGetXlibControls(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to XkbGetXlibControls(3) from the XKB FUNCTIONS manual — this one determines the current state of the Library Controls, and that’s literally its whole main character job. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned int XkbGetXlibControls (Display  *display);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• display — connection to X server. that’s the whole argument, no cap. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

XkbGetXlibControls returns the current state of the Library Controls as a bit mask that is an inclusive OR of the control masks from Table 1 for the controls that are enabled. For the optional compose processing controls, the fact that a control is enabled does not imply that it is actually implemented. like, enabled does not automatically mean implemented — important caveat, bestie. 😭

🦋 Table 1 Library Control Masks 🦋

here’s the table energy, with every mask and value kept exactly as given:

• XkbLC_ForceLatin1Lookup — value (1 << 0)
• XkbLC_ConsumeLookupMods — value (1 << 1)
• XkbLC_AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock — value (1 << 2)
• XkbLC_IgnoreNewKeyboards — value (1 << 3)
• XkbLC_ConsumeKeysOnComposeFail — value (1 << 29)
• XkbLC_ComposeLED — value (1 << 30)
• XkbLC_BeepOnComposeFail — value (1 << 31)
• XkbLC_AllControls — value 0xc0000007

sign-off time, bestie: this page comes from X Version 11, libX11 1.8.14, and XkbGetXlibControls(3) — the footer didn’t give a separate date, so we’re not inventing one, fr fr. 🎀✨🦋
