+XIQUERYDEVICE(libmansuffix)
+============================
+
+NAME
+----
+
+ XIQueryDevice, XIFreeDeviceInfo - get information about devices.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+ #include <X11/extensions/XInput2.h>
+
+ XIDeviceInfo* XIQueryPointer( Display *display,
+ int deviceid,
+ int *ndevices_return);
+
+ XIFreeDeviceInfo( XIDeviceInfo *info);
+
+ deviceid
+ Specifies the device to query or XIAllDevices or
+ XIAllMasterDevices.
+
+ display
+ Specifies the connection to the X server.
+
+ ndevices_return
+ Returns the number of devices returned.
+
+ info
+ A list of device XIDeviceInfo structs to be freed.
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+ The XIQueryDevice returns information about one or more input
+ devices. If the deviceid specifies a device, ndevices_return is
+ 1 and the returned information describes only the requested
+ device. If deviceid is XIAllDevices or XIAllMasterDevices,
+ ndevices_return is the number of devices or master devices,
+ respectively, and the returned information represents all
+ devices or all master devices, respectively.
+
+ To free the XIDeviceInfo array returned by XIQueryDevice, use
+ XIFreeDeviceInfo.
+
+ For each input device requested, the XIQueryDevice returns an
+ XIDeviceInfo structure. Each structure contains information
+ about the capabilities of one input device available to the
+ server.
+
+ typedef struct
+ {
+ int deviceid;
+ char *name;
+ int use;
+ int attachment;
+ Bool enabled;
+ int num_classes;
+ XIAnyClassInfo **classes;
+ } XIDeviceInfo;
+
+ The deviceid is the numeric unique id of the device. A deviceid
+ is unique for the life-time of a device but a server may re-use
+ the id once a device has been removed.
+
+ The name points to a null-terminated string specifying the
+ identifier of the device.
+
+ The use and attachment fields specify the type of the device
+ and the current attachment or pairing.
+ - If use is XIMasterPointer, the device is a master pointer and
+ attachment specifies the deviceid of the paired master
+ keyboard.
+ - If use is XIMasterKeyboard, the device is a master keyboard,
+ and the attachment field specifies the paired master pointer.
+ - If use is XISlavePointer, the device is a slave device and
+ currently attached to the master pointer specified in
+ attachement.
+ - If use is XISlaveKeyboard, the device is a slave device an
+ currently attached to the master keyboard specified in
+ attachment.
+ - If use is XIFloatingSlave, the device is a slave device
+ currently not attached to any master device. The value of the
+ attachment field for floating slave devices is undefined.
+
+ The enabled field specifies if the device is currently enabled
+ and can send events. Disabled devices will not send events.
+
+ The num_classes field specifies the number of input classes
+ pointed to by classes. The first two fields of all input
+ classes are identical.
+
+ typedef struct
+ {
+ int type;
+ int sourceid;
+ } XIAnyClassInfo;
+
+ The type field specifies the type of the input class.
+ Currently, the following types are defined:
+ XIKeyClass, XIButtonClass, XIValuatorClass
+
+ In the future, additional types may be added. Clients are
+ required to ignore unknown input classes.
+
+ The sourceid is the deviceid this class originated from. For
+ master devices, the sourceid is typically the id of the slave
+ device currently sending events. For slave devices, the
+ sourceid is typically the device's id.
+
+ A device may have zero or one XIButtonClass, denoting the
+ device's capability to send button events.
+
+ typedef struct {
+ int mask_len;
+ unsigned char *mask;
+ } XIButtonState;
+
+ typedef struct
+ {
+ int type;
+ int sourceid;
+ int num_buttons;
+ Atom *labels;
+ XIButtonState state;
+ } XIButtonClassInfo;
+
+ The num_buttons field specifies the number of buttons available
+ on this device. A device that has an XIButtonClass must have at
+ least one button.
+
+ labels is a list of num_buttons Atoms specifying the button
+ labels for this device. If the label is not None, then the
+ label specifies the type of button in physical device order
+ (i.e. as the buttons are numbered on the physical input
+ device).
+
+ The state is the current button state as seen by clients (i.e.
+ after button mapping is applied). The mask_len field specifies
+ the length of mask in bytes. For each button on the device, the
+ respective bit in mask is set if the button is currently
+ logically down.
+
+ A device may have zero or one XIKeyClass, denoting the device's
+ capability to send key events.
+
+ typedef struct
+ {
+ int type;
+ int sourceid;
+ int num_keycodes;
+ int *keycodes;
+ } XIKeyClassInfo;
+
+ The num_keycodes field specifies the number of keycodes
+ available on this device. A device that has an XIKeyClass must
+ have at least one keycode.
+
+ keycodes is a list of num_keycodes keycodes the device may
+ send.
+
+ A device may have zero or more XIValuatorClass, denoting the
+ device's capability to send coordinates.
+
+ typedef struct
+ {
+ int type;
+ int sourceid;
+ int number;
+ Atom label;
+ double min;
+ double max;
+ double value;
+ int resolution;
+ int mode;
+ } XIValuatorInfo;
+
+ The number field specifies the number of the axis on the
+ physical device.
+
+ If the label field is not None, the value of label is an Atom
+ describing the axis.
+
+ min and max are the minimum and maximum values allowed on this
+ axis. If both are zero, no minumum or maximum values are set on
+ this device. value is the current value of this axis.
+
+ The resolution field specifies the resolution of the device in
+ units/m.
+
+ The mode specifies the mode of this axis. If the mode is
+ XIModeAbsolute this axis sends absolute coordinates. If the
+ mode is XIModeRelative, this device sends relative coordinates.
+
+ XIQueryDevice can generate a BadDevice error.
+
+ XIFreeDeviceInfo frees the information returned by
+ XIQueryDevice.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+-----------
+
+ BadDevice
+ An invalid device was specified. The device does not
+ exist or is not a pointer device.
