.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
To determine whether the X server allows Xkb access to particular capabilities of input devices other than the core X 
keyboard, or to determine the status of indicator maps, indicator names or button actions on a non-KeyClass extension 
device, use 
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo. 

.I XkbGetDeviceInfo 
returns information about the input device specified by 
.I device_spec. 
Unlike the 
.I device_spec 
parameter of most Xkb functions, 
.I device_spec 
does not need to be a keyboard device. It must, however, indicate either the core keyboard or a valid X Input Extension 
device. 

The 
.I which 
parameter is a mask specifying optional information to be returned. It is an inclusive OR of one or more of the values from 
Table 1 and causes the returned XkbDeviceInfoRec to contain values for the corresponding fields specified in the table.

The XkbDeviceInfoRec returned by 
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo 
always has values for 
.I name 
(may be a null string, ""), 
.I type, supported, unsupported, has_own_state, dflt_kbd_fd, 
and 
.I dflt_kbd_fb. 
Other fields are filled in as specified by 
.I which.

Upon return, the 
.I supported 
field will be set to the inclusive OR of zero or more bits from Table 1; each bit set indicates an optional Xkb extension 
device feature supported by the server implementation, and a client may modify the associated behavior.

If the XkbButtonActionsMask bit is set in 
.I which, 
the XkbDeviceInfoRec returned will have the button actions 
.I (btn_acts 
field) filled in for all buttons.

If 
.I which 
includes one of the bits in XkbXI_IndicatorsMask, the feedback class of the indicators must be specified in
.I ind_class, 
and the feedback ID of the indicators must be specified in 
.I ind_id. 
If the request does not include any of the bits in XkbXI_IndicatorsMask, the 
.I ind_class 
and 
.I ind_id 
parameters are ignored. The class and ID can be obtained via the input device extension 
.I XListInputDevices 
request. 

If any of the XkbXI_IndicatorsMask bits are set in 
.I which, 
the XkbDeviceInfoRec returned will have filled in the portions of the 
.I leds 
structure corresponding to the indicator feedback identified by 
.I ind_class 
and 
.I ind_id. 
The 
.I leds 
vector of the XkbDeviceInfoRec is allocated if necessary and 
.I sz_leds 
and 
.I num_leds 
filled in. The 
.I led_class, led_id 
and 
.I phys_indicators 
fields of the 
.I leds 
entry corresponding to 
.I ind_class 
and 
.I ind_id 
are always filled in. If 
.I which 
contains XkbXI_IndicatorNamesMask, the 
.I names_present 
and 
.I names 
fields of the 
.I leds 
structure corresponding to 
.I ind_class 
and 
.I ind_id 
are returned. If 
.I which 
contains XkbXI_IndicatorStateMask, the corresponding 
.I state 
field is updated. If 
.I which 
contains XkbXI_IndicatorMapsMask, the 
.I maps_present 
and 
.I maps 
fields are updated.

Xkb provides convenience functions to request subsets of the information available via 
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo. 
These convenience functions mirror some of the mask bits. The functions all take an XkbDeviceInfoPtr as an input argument 
and operate on the X Input Extension device specified by the 
.I device_spec 
field of the structure. Only the parts of the structure indicated in the function description are updated. The 
XkbDeviceInfoRec structure used in the function call can be obtained by calling 
.I XkbGetDeviceInfo 
or can be allocated by calling 
.I XkbAllocDeviceInfo.
