XSetPointerMapping(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSetPointerMapping(3)
NAME
XSetPointerMapping, XGetPointerMapping - manipulate pointer settings
SYNTAX
int XSetPointerMapping(Display *display, _Xconst unsigned char map[],
int nmap);
int XGetPointerMapping(Display *display, unsigned char map_return[],
int nmap);
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
map Specifies the mapping list.
map_return
Returns the mapping list.
nmap Specifies the number of items in the mapping list.
DESCRIPTION
The XSetPointerMapping function sets the mapping of the pointer. If it
succeeds, the X server generates a MappingNotify event, and XSetPoint-
erMapping returns MappingSuccess. Element map[i] defines the logical
button number for the physical button i+1. The length of the list must
be the same as XGetPointerMapping would return, or a BadValue error re-
sults. A zero element disables a button, and elements are not re-
stricted in value by the number of physical buttons. However, no two
elements can have the same nonzero value, or a BadValue error results.
If any of the buttons to be altered are logically in the down state,
XSetPointerMapping returns MappingBusy, and the mapping is not changed.
XSetPointerMapping can generate a BadValue error.
The XGetPointerMapping function returns the current mapping of the
pointer. Pointer buttons are numbered starting from one. XGetPoint-
erMapping returns the number of physical buttons actually on the
pointer. The nominal mapping for a pointer is map[i]=i+1. The nmap
argument specifies the length of the array where the pointer mapping is
returned, and only the first nmap elements are returned in map_return.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted
by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an
argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is
accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can
generate this error.
