NAME

       XkbFreeClientMap  -  Free  memory  used  by the client map member of an
       XkbDescRec structure

SYNOPSIS

       void  XkbFreeClientMap  (XkbDescPtr  xkb,  unsigned  int  which,   Bool
              free_all);

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  keyboard description containing client map to free

       - which
              mask identifying components of map to free

       - free_all
              True => free all client components and map itself

DESCRIPTION

       XkbFreeClientMap  frees the components of client map specified by which
       in the XkbDescRec structure specified by the xkb parameter and sets the
       corresponding  structure  component values to NULL. The which parameter
       specifies a combination of the client map masks shown in Table 1.

       If free_all is True, which is  ignored;  XkbFreeClientMap  frees  every
       non-NULL   structure   component   in   the   client   map,  frees  the
       XkbClientMapRec structure referenced by  the  map  member  of  the  xkb
       parameter, and sets the map member to NULL.

       Mask                 Effect
       --------------------------------------------------------------
       XkbKeyTypesMask      The   type_count   field  specifies  the
                            number of entries to preallocate for the
                            types  field  of  the client map. If the
                            type_count   field    is    less    than
                            XkbNumRequiredTypes returns BadValue.

       XkbKeySymsMask       The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                            of  the  xkb  parameter  are   used   to
                            allocate the syms and key_sym_map fields
                            of  the  client  map.  The  fields   are
                            allocated  to contain the maximum number
                            of entries necessary for max_key_code  -
                            min_key_code + 1 keys.

       XkbModifierMapMask   The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                            of  the  xkb  parameter  are   used   to
                            allocate  the modmap field of the client
                            map. The field is allocated  to  contain
                            the  maximum number of entries necessary
                            for  max_key_code  -  min_key_code  +  1
                            keys.

       NOTE:  The  min_key_code  and  max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter
       must be legal values if the XkbKeySymsMask or XkbModifierMapMask  masks
       are   set   in   the   which   parameter.   If   they  are  not  valid,
       XkbAllocClientMap returns BadValue.

STRUCTURES

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

       typedef struct {
          struct _XDisplay * display;      /∗ connection to X server */
          unsigned short     flags;        /∗ private to Xkb, do not modify */
          unsigned short     device_spec;  /∗ device of interest */
          KeyCode            min_key_code; /∗ minimum keycode for device */
          KeyCode            max_key_code; /∗ maximum keycode for device */
          XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;        /∗ controls */
          XkbServerMapPtr    server;       /∗ server keymap */
          XkbClientMapPtr    map;          /∗ client keymap */
          XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /∗ indicator map */
          XkbNamesPtr        names;        /∗ names for all components */
          XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;       /∗ compatibility map */
          XkbGeometryPtr     geom;         /∗ physical geometry of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The display field points to an X display structure. The flags field  is
       private  to  the  library:  modifying  flags  may  yield  unpredictable
       results. The device_spec field specifies the device identifier  of  the
       keyboard  input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the core
       keyboard device. The min_key_code and 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 2.

               Table 2 Mask Bits for XkbDescRec
       --------------------------------------------------
       Mask Bit               XkbDescRec Field   Value
       --------------------------------------------------
       XkbControlsMask        ctrls              (1L<<0)
       XkbServerMapMask       server             (1L<<1)
       XkbIClientMapMask      map                (1L<<2)
       XkbIndicatorMapMask    indicators         (1L<<3)
       XkbNamesMask           names              (1L<<4)
       XkbCompatMapMask       compat             (1L<<5)
       XkbGeometryMask        geom               (1L<<6)
       XkbAllComponentsMask   All Fields         (0x7f)

       The map field of the complete Xkb keyboard description is a pointer  to
       the Xkb client map, which is of type XkbClientMapRec:

          typedef struct {                   /∗ Client Map */
             unsigned char     size_types;   /∗ # occupied entries in types */
             unsigned char     num_types;    /∗ # entries in types */
             XkbKeyTypePtr     types;        /∗ vector of key types used by this keymap */
             unsigned short    size_syms;    /∗ length of the syms array */
             unsigned short    num_syms;     /∗ # entries in syms */
             KeySym *          syms;         /∗ linear 2d tables of keysyms, 1 per key */
             XkbSymMapPtr      key_sym_map;  /∗ 1 per keycode, maps keycode to syms */
             unsigned char *   modmap;       /∗ 1 per keycode, real mods bound to key */
       } XkbClientMapRec, *XkbClientMapPtr;
