+XCHANGEKEYBOARDDEVICE(libmansuffix)
+===================================
+
+NAME
+----
+
+ XChangeKeyboardDevice - change which device is used as the X
+ keyboard
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+ #include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
+
+ Status XChangeKeyboardDevice( Display *display,
+ XDevice *device);
+
+ display
+ Specifies the connection to the X server.
+
+ device
+ Specifies the device to be used as the X keyboard.
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+ The XChangeKeyboardDevice request causes the server to use the
+ specified device as the X keyboard. The device must have been
+ previously opened by the requesting client via XOpenDevice or a
+ BadDevice error will result. The device must support input
+ class Keys, or a BadMatch error will result. If the server
+ implementation does not support using the requested device as
+ the X keyboard, a BadDevice error will result.
+
+ If the specified device is grabbed by another client,
+ AlreadyGrabbed is returned. If the specified device is frozen
+ by a grab on another device, GrabFrozen is returned. If the
+ request is successful, Success is returned.
+
+ If the request succeeds, a ChangeDeviceNotify event is sent to
+ all clients that have selected that event. A MappingNotify
+ event with request = MappingKeyboard is sent to all clients.
+ The specified device becomes the X keyboard and the old X
+ keyboard becomes accessible through the input extension
+ protocol requests.
+
+ XChangeKeyboardDevice can generate a BadDevice or a BadMatch
+ error.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+-----------
+
+ BadDevice
+ An invalid device was specified. The specified device
+ does not exist, has not been opened by this client via
+ XOpenInputDevice, or is already one of the core X device
+ (pointer or keyboard). This error may also occur if the
+ server implementation does not support using the
+ specified device as the X keyboard.
+
+ BadMatch
+ This error may occur if an XChangeKeyboardDevice request
+ was made specifying a device that has no keys.
