|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The XListInputDevices request lists the available input
|
||||
devices. This list includes the core keyboard and any physical
|
||||
input device currently accessible through the X server, and any
|
||||
input devices that are not currently accessible through the X
|
||||
server but could be accessed if requested.
|
||||
|
||||
A master pointer is a virtual pointer device that does not
|
||||
represent a physical device. It is visually represented through
|
||||
a cursor. A master keyboard is a virtual keyboard device that
|
||||
does not represent a physical device. It is virtually
|
||||
represented through a keyboard focus. A master pointer and a
|
||||
master keyboard are always paired (i.e. if shift is pressed on
|
||||
the master keyboard, a pointer click would be a shift-click).
|
||||
Multiple master pointer/keyboard pairs can exist.
|
||||
|
||||
X servers supporting the X Input Extension version 2,
|
||||
XListInputDevices only returns the first master pointer, the
|
||||
first master keyboard and all slave devices. Additional master
|
||||
devices are not listed.
|
||||
|
||||
Physical devices (so-called slave devices) are attached to
|
||||
either a master pointer or a master keyboard, depending on
|
||||
their capabilities. If a slave device generates an event, the
|
||||
event is also generated by the respective master device.
|
||||
Multiple slave devices can be attached to a single master
|
||||
device.
|
||||
|
||||
Some server implementations may make all physical input devices
|
||||
available at the time the server is initialized. Others may
|
||||
wait until requested by a client to access an input device. In
|
||||
the latter case, it is possible that an input device will be
|
||||
listed as available at one time but not at another.
|
||||
|
||||
For each input device available to the server, the
|
||||
XListInputDevices request returns an XDeviceInfo structure.
|
||||
That structure contains a pointer to a list of structures, each
|
||||
of which contains information about one class of input
|
||||
supported by the device. The XDeviceInfo structure is defined
|
||||
as follows:
|
||||
typedef struct _XDeviceInfo {
|
||||
XID id;
|
||||
Atom type;
|
||||
char *name;
|
||||
int num_classes;
|
||||
int use;
|
||||
XAnyClassPtr inputclassinfo;
|
||||
} XDeviceInfo;
|
||||
|
||||
The id is a number in the range 0-128 that uniquely identifies
|
||||
the device. It is assigned to the device when it is initialized
|
||||
by the server.
|
||||
|
||||
The type field is of type Atom and indicates the nature of the
|
||||
device. The type will correspond to one of the following strings
|
||||
(defined in the header file XI.h):
|
||||
|
||||
XI_MOUSE XI_TABLET XI_KEYBOARD XI_TOUCHSCREEN XI_TOUCHPAD
|
||||
XI_BUTTONBOX XI_BARCODE XI_TRACKBALL XI_QUADRATURE XI_ID_MODULE
|
||||
XI_ONE_KNOB XI_NINE_KNOB XI_KNOB_BOX XI_SPACEBALL XI_DATAGLOVE
|
||||
XI_EYETRACKER XI_CURSORKEYS XI_FOOTMOUSE XI_JOYSTICK
|
||||
|
||||
These strings may be used in an XInternAtom request to return
|
||||
an atom that can be compared with the type field of the
|
||||
XDeviceInfo structure.
|
||||
|
||||
The name field contains a pointer to a null-terminated string
|
||||
that serves as identifier of the device. This identifier may be
|
||||
user-configured or automatically assigned by the server.
|
||||
|
||||
The num_classes field is a number in the range 0-255 that
|
||||
specifies the number of input classes supported by the device
|
||||
for which information is returned by ListInputDevices. Some
|
||||
input classes, such as class Focus and class Proximity do not
|
||||
have any information to be returned by ListInputDevices.
|
||||
|
||||
All devices provide an AttachClass. This class specifies the
|
||||
master device a given slave device is attached to. For master
|
||||
devices, the class specifies the respective paired master
|
||||
device.
|
||||
|
||||
The use field specifies how the device is currently being used.
|
||||
If the value is IsXKeyboard, the device is a master keyboard.
|
||||
If the value is IsXPointer, the device is a master pointer. If
|
||||
the value is IsXExtensionPointer, the device is a slave
|
||||
pointer. If the value is IsXExtensionKeyboard, the device is a
|
||||
slave keyboard. If the value is IsXExtensionDevice, the device
|
||||
is available for use as an extension device.
|
||||
|
||||
The inputclassinfo field contains a pointer to the first
|
||||
input-class specific data. The first two fields are common to
|
||||
all classes.
|
||||
|
||||
The class field is a number in the range 0-255. It uniquely
|
||||
identifies the class of input for which information is
|
||||
returned. Currently defined classes are KeyClass, ButtonClass,
|
||||
and ValuatorClass.
|
||||
|
||||
The length field is a number in the range 0- 255. It specifies
|
||||
the number of bytes of data that are contained in this input
|
||||
class. The length includes the class and length fields.
|
||||
|
||||
The XKeyInfo structure describes the characteristics of the
|
||||
keys on the device. It is defined as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
typedef struct _XKeyInfo {
|
||||
XID class;
|
||||
int length;
|
||||
unsigned short min_keycode;
|
||||
unsigned short max_keycode;
|
||||
unsigned short num_keys;
|
||||
} XKeyInfo;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
min_keycode is of type KEYCODE. It specifies the minimum
|
||||
keycode that the device will report. The minimum keycode will
|
||||
not be smaller than 8.
|
||||
|
||||
max_keycode is of type KEYCODE. It specifies the maximum
|
||||
keycode that the device will report. The maximum keycode will
|
||||
not be larger than 255.
|
||||
|
||||
num_keys specifies the number of keys that the device has.
|
||||
|
||||
The XButtonInfo structure defines the characteristics of the
|
||||
buttons on the device. It is defined as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
typedef struct _XButtonInfo {
|
||||
XID class;
|
||||
int length;
|
||||
short num_buttons;
|
||||
} XButtonInfo;
|
||||
|
||||
num_buttons specifies the number of buttons that the device
|
||||
has.
|
||||
|
||||
The XValuatorInfo structure defines the characteristics of the
|
||||
valuators on the device. It is defined as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
typedef struct _XValuatorInfo {
|
||||
XID class;
|
||||
int length;
|
||||
unsigned char num_axes;
|
||||
unsigned char mode;
|
||||
unsigned long motion_buffer;
|
||||
XAxisInfoPtr axes;
|
||||
} XValuatorInfo;
|
||||
|
||||
num_axes contains the number of axes the device supports.
|
||||
|
||||
mode is a constant that has one of the following values:
|
||||
Absolute or Relative. Some devices allow the mode to be changed
|
||||
dynamically via the SetDeviceMode request.
|
||||
|
||||
motion_buffer_size is a cardinal number that specifies the
|
||||
number of elements that can be contained in the motion history
|
||||
buffer for the device.
|
||||
|
||||
The axes field contains a pointer to an XAxisInfo structure.
|
||||
|
||||
The XAxisInfo structure is defined as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
typedef struct _XAxisInfo {
|
||||
int resolution;
|
||||
int min_value;
|
||||
int max_value;
|
||||
} XAxisInfo;
|
||||
|
||||
The resolution contains a number in counts/meter.
|
||||
|
||||
The min_val field contains a number that specifies the minimum
|
||||
value the device reports for this axis. For devices whose mode
|
||||
is Relative, the min_val field will contain 0.
|
||||
|
||||
The max_val field contains a number that specifies the maximum
|
||||
value the device reports for this axis. For devices whose mode
|
||||
is Relative, the max_val field will contain 0.
|
||||
|
||||
The XAttachInfo structure is defined as follows:
|
||||
typedef struct _XAttachInfo {
|
||||
int attached;
|
||||
} XAttachInfo;
|
||||
|
||||
If the device is a slave device, attached specifies the device
|
||||
ID of the master device this device is attached to. If the
|
||||
device is not attached to a master device, attached is
|
||||
Floating. If the device is a master device, attached specifies
|
||||
the device ID of the master device this device is paired with.
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
XListInputDevices returns a pointer to an array of XDeviceInfo
|
||||
structs and sets ndevices_return to the number of elements in
|
||||
that array. To free the XDeviceInfo array created by
|
||||
XListInputDevices, use XFreeDeviceList.
|
||||
|
||||
On error, XListInputDevices returns NULL and ndevices_return is
|
||||
left unmodified.
