NAME

       XkbSetDebuggingFlags - Change the values of any of the debug controls

SYNOPSIS

       Bool   XkbSetDebuggingFlags   (Display  *display,  unsigned  int  mask,
              unsigned int flags, char *msg, unsigned int ctrls_mask, unsigned
              int ctrls, unsigned int *ret_flags, unsigned int *ret_ctrls);

ARGUMENTS

       - display
              connection to X server

       - mask mask selecting debug output flags to change

       - flags
              values for debug output flags selected by mask

       - msg  message to print right now

       - ctrls_mask
              mask selecting debug controls to change

       - ctrls
              values for debug controls selected by ctrls_mask

       - ret_flags
              resulting state of all debug output flags

       - ret_ctrls
              resulting state of all debug controls

DESCRIPTION

       The  debugging  aids are intended for use primarily by Xkb implementors
       and are optional in any implementation.

       There are two bitmasks that may  be  used  to  control  debugging.  One
       bitmask  controls  the  output  of debugging information, and the other
       controls behavior.  Both bitmasks are initially all zeros.

       To  change  the  values   of   any   of   the   debug   controls,   use
       XkbSetDebuggingFlags.

       XkbSetDebuggingFlags  modifies  the  debug output flags as specified by
       mask and flags, modifies the  debug  controls  flags  as  specified  by
       ctrls_mask  and  ctrls, prints the message msg, and backfills ret_flags
       and ret_ctrls with the resulting debug output and debug controls flags.

       When bits are set in the debug output masks, mask and flags, Xkb prints
       debug information corresponding  to  each  bit  at  appropriate  points
       during  its  processing.  The  device to which the output is written is
       implementation-dependent, but is normally the same device  to  which  X
       server  error  messages  are directed; thus the bits that can be set in
       mask and flags is implementation-specific. To turn on  a  debug  output
       selection, set the bit for the output in the mask parameter and set the
       corresponding bit in the flags parameter. To turn off  event  selection
       for  an  event, set the bit for the output in the mask parameter and do
       not set the corresponding bit in the flags parameter.

       When bits are set in the debug controls masks,  ctrls_mask  and  ctrls,
       Xkb  modifies  its behavior according to each controls bit.  ctrls_mask
       and ctrls are related in the same way that  mask  and  flags  are.  The
       valid controls bits are defined in Table 1.

       XkbSetDebuggingFlags  returns  True  if successful and False otherwise.
       The only protocol error it may generate is BadAlloc, if for some reason
       it is unable to allocate storage.

       XkbSetDebuggingFlags  is intended for developer use and may be disabled
       in production X servers. If it is disabled, XkbSetDebuggingFlags has no
       effect and does not generate any protocol errors.

       The  message  in  msg is written immediately. The device to which it is
       written is implementation dependent but is  normally  the  same  device
       where X server error messages are directed.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The  XkbSetDebuggingFlags  function  returns  True  when
                      successful.

       False          The XkbSetDebuggingFlags function returns False when not
                      successful.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage
