XGETDEVICEPROPERTY(3) XGETDEVICEPROPERTY(3)
NAME XGetDeviceProperty, XChangeDeviceProperty, XDeleteDeviceProperty - Get, change or delete a device's property.
SYNOPSIS #include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
int XGetDeviceProperty( Display *display, XDevice *device, Atom property, long offset, long length, Bool delete, Atom req_type, Atom *actual_type_return, int *actual_format_return, unsigned long *nitems_return, unsigned long *bytes_after_return, unsigned char **prop_return)
void XChangeDeviceProperty( Display *display, XDevice *device, Atom property, Atom type, int format, int mode, const char *data, int nelements)
void XDeleteDeviceProperty( Display *display, XDevice *device, Atom property)
actual_type_return Returns an atom identifier that defines the actual type of the property.
actual_format_return Returns the actual format of the property.
bytes_after_return Returns the number of bytes remaining to be read in the property if a partial read was performed.
data Specifies the property data.
delete Specifies a Boolean value that determines whether the property is deleted.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
device The device to grab.
XChangeDeviceProperty.
length Specifies the length in 32-bit multiplies of the data to be retrieved.
mode Specifies the mode of operation. You can pass PropModeReplace, PropModePrepend, or PropModeAppend.
nelements Specifies the number of elements in data.
nitems_return Returns the actual number of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit items stored in the prop_return array.
num_values Specifies the number of elements in the values list.
offset Specifies the offset in the specified property (in 32-bit quantities) where the data is to be retrieved.
property Specifies the property to modify or query.
prop_return Returns the data in the specified format. If the returned format is 8, the returned data is represented as a char array. If the returned format is 16, the returned data is represented as an array of short int type and should be cast to that type to obtain the elements. If the returned format is 32, the property data will be stored as an array of longs (which in a 64-bit application will be 64-bit values that are padded in the upper 4 bytes).
req_type Specifies the atom identifier associated with the property type or AnyPropertyType.
DESCRIPTION The XGetDeviceProperty function returns the actual type of the property; the actual format of the property; the number of 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit items transferred; the number of bytes remaining to be read in the property; and a pointer to the data actually returned. For a detailed description of this function, see the man page to XGetWindowProperty.
The XChangeDeviceProperty function alters the property for the specified device and causes the server to generate a XPropertyNotifyEvent event on that device. For a detailed description of this function, see the man page to XChangeProperty.
The XDeleteDeviceProperty function deletes the specified device property. Note that a client cannot delete a property created by a driver or the server. Attempting to do so will result in a BadAtom error.
DIAGNOSIS BadAtom A value does not describe a valid named identifier or the client attempted to remove a driver-allocated property.
BadDevice An invalid device was specified. The device does not exist.
