The \fIXFreeDeviceList\fP function -frees the list of available extension input devices. -.SH DESCRIPTION -The \fIXListInputDevices\fP -request lists the available input devices. This list includes all master -pointers and master keyboards as well as the physical input devices 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. -.LP -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 representd 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. -.LP -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. -.LP -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. -.LP -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: - -.DS -.nf -typedef struct _XDeviceInfo -{ - XID id; - Atom type; - char *name; - int num_classes; - int use; - XAnyClassPtr inputclassinfo; -} XDeviceInfo; -.fi -.DE -.LP -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. -.LP -The type field is of type Atom and indicates the nature -of the device. -.LP -The name field contains a pointer to a null-terminated -string that corresponds to one of the defined device -types. The name will correspond to one of the following -strings (defined in the header file \fIXI.h\fP: -.LP -.DS -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 -.DE -.LP -These names may be directly compared with the name field of the -XDeviceInfo structure, or used in an XInternAtom request to return -an atom that can be compared with the type field of the XDeviceInfo -structure. -.LP -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. -.LP -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. -.LP -The use field specifies how the device is currently -being used. If the value is \fIIsXKeyboard\fP, the device is -a master keyboard. If the value is \fIIsXPointer\fP, the device is a master -pointer. If the value is \fIIsXExtensionPointer\fP, the -device is a slave pointer. If the value is \fIIsXExtensionKeyboard\fP, the -device is a slave keyboard. If the value is \fIIsXExtensionDevice\fP, the -device is available for use as an extension device. -.LP -The inputclassinfo field contains a pointer to the first input-class -specific data. The first two fields are common to all -classes. -.LP -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. -.LP -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. -.LP -The XKeyInfo structure describes the characteristics of the keys on the -device. It is defined as follows: -.LP -.DS -.nf -typedef struct _XKeyInfo { - XID class; - int length; - unsigned short min_keycode; - unsigned short max_keycode; - unsigned short num_keys; -} XKeyInfo; -.fi -.DE -.LP -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. -.LP -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. -.LP -num_keys specifies the number of keys that the device has. -.LP -The XButtonInfo structure defines the characteristics of the buttons -on the device. It is defined as follows: -.LP -.DS -.nf -typedef struct _XButtonInfo { - XID class; - int length; - short num_buttons; -} XButtonInfo; -.fi -.DE -.LP -num_buttons specifies the number of buttons that the device has. -.LP -The XValuatorInfo structure defines the characteristics of the valuators -on the device. It is defined as follows: -.LP -.DE -.nf -typedef struct _XValuatorInfo { - XID class; - int length; - unsigned char num_axes; - unsigned char mode; - unsigned long motion_buffer; - XAxisInfoPtr axes; -} XValuatorInfo; -.fi -.DS -num_axes contains the number of axes the device supports. -.LP -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. -.LP -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. -.LP -The axes field contains a pointer to an XAxisInfo structure. -.LP -The XAxisInfo structure is defined as follows: -.LP -.DS -.nf -typedef struct _XAxisInfo { - int resolution; - int min_value; - int max_value; -} XAxisInfo; -.fi -.DE -.LP -The resolution contains a number in counts/meter. -.LP -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. -.LP -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. -.LP -The XAttachInfo structure is defined as follows: -.LP -.DS -.nf -typedef struct _XAttachInfo { - int attached; -} XAttachInfo; -.fi -.DE -.LP -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 \fIFloating\fP. -If the device is a master device, attached specifies the device ID of the -master device this device is paired with. -.LP -To free the \fIXDeviceInfo\fP array created by \fIXListInputDevices\fP, -use \fIXFreeDeviceList\fP. -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -none. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.br -\fI\*(xL\fP |
