The purpose of this extension is to support the use of additional input devices beyond the pointer and keyboard devices defined by the core X protocol. This first section gives an overview of the input extension. The following sections correspond to chapters 9, 10, and 11, ``Window and Session Manager Functions'', ``Events'', and ``Event Handling Functions'' of the ``Xlib - C Language Interface'' manual and describe how to use the input device extension. </p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Design_Approach"></a>Design Approach</h3></div></div></div><p> The design approach of the extension is to define functions and events analogous to the core functions and events. This allows extension input devices and events to be individually distinguishable from each other and from the core input devices and events. These functions and events make use of a device identifier and support the reporting of <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span>-dimensional motion data as well as other data that is not currently reportable via the core input events. </p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Core_Input_Devices"></a>Core Input Devices</h3></div></div></div><p> The X server core protocol supports two input devices: a pointer and a keyboard. The pointer device has two major functions. First, it may be used to generate motion information that client programs can detect. Second, it may also be used to indicate the current location and focus of the X keyboard. To accomplish this, the server echoes a cursor at the current position of the X pointer. Unless the X keyboard has been explicitly focused, this cursor also shows the current location and focus of the X keyboard. </p><p> The X keyboard is used to generate input that client programs can detect. </p><p> The X keyboard and X pointer are referred to in this document as the <span class="emphasis"><em>core devices</em></span>, and the input events they generate <code class="function">( KeyPress ,</code> <code class="function">KeyRelease ,</code> <code class="function">ButtonPress ,</code> <code class="function">ButtonRelease ,</code> and <code class="function">MotionNotify )</code> are known as the <span class="emphasis"><em>core input events</em></span>. All other input devices are referred to as <span class="emphasis"><em>extension input devices</em></span>, and the input events they generate are referred to as <span class="emphasis"><em>extension input events</em></span>. This input extension does not change the behavior or functionality of the core input devices, core events, or core protocol requests, with the exception of the core grab requests. These requests may affect the synchronization of events from extension devices. See the explanation in the section titled ``Event Synchronization and Core Grabs.'' </p><p> Selection of the physical devices to be initially used by the server as the core devices is left implementation dependent. Functions are defined that allow client programs to change which physical devices are used as the core devices. </p></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Extension_Input_Devices"></a>Extension Input Devices</h3></div></div></div><p> The input extension controls access to input devices other than the X keyboard and X pointer. It allows client programs to select input from these devices independently from each other and independently from the core devices. Input events from these devices are of extension types <code class="function">( DeviceKeyPress ,</code> <code class="function">DeviceKeyRelease ,</code> <code class="function">DeviceButtonPress ,</code> <code class="function">DeviceButtonRelease ,</code> <code class="function">DeviceMotionNotify ,</code> and so on) and contain a device identifier so that events of the same type coming from different input devices can be distinguished. </p><p> Extension input events are not limited in size by the size of the server 32-byte wire events. Extension input events may be constructed by the server sending as many wire-sized events as necessary to return the information required for that event. The library event reformatting routines are responsible for combining these into one or more client XEvents. </p><p> Any input device that generates key, button, or motion data may be used as an extension input device. Extension input devices may have zero or more keys, zero or more buttons, and may report zero or more axes of motion. Motion may be reported as relative movements from a previous position or as an absolute position. All valuators reporting motion information for a given extension input device must report the same kind of motion information (absolute or relative). </p><p> This extension is designed to accommodate new types of input devices that may be added in the future. The protocol requests that refer to specific characteristics of input devices organize that information by <span class="emphasis"><em>input device classes</em></span>. Server implementors may add new classes of input devices without changing the protocol requests. </p><p> All extension input devices are treated like the core X keyboard in determining their location and focus. The server does not track the location of these devices on an individual basis and, therefore, does not echo a cursor to indicate their current location. Instead, their location is determined by the location of the core X pointer. Like the core X keyboard, some may be explicitly focused. If they are not explicitly focused, their focus is determined by the location of the core X pointer. </p><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Input_Device_Classes"></a>Input Device Classes</h4></div></div></div><p> Some of the input extension requests divide input devices into classes based on their functionality. This is intended to allow new classes of input devices to be defined at a later time without changing the semantics of these functions. The following input device classes are currently defined: </p><div class="variablelist"><table border="0" class="variablelist"><colgroup><col align="left" valign="top" /><col /></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term">KEY</span></p></td><td><p> The device reports key events. </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">BUTTON</span></p></td><td><p> The device reports button events. </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">VALUATOR</span></p></td><td><p> The device reports valuator data in motion events. </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">PROXIMITY</span></p></td><td><p> The device reports proximity events. </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">FOCUS</span></p></td><td><p> The device can be focused. </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term">FEEDBACK</span></p></td><td><p> The device supports feedbacks. </p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p> </p><p> Additional classes may be added in the future. Functions that support multiple input classes, such as the <a class="xref" href="#XListInputDevices"><code class="function"> XListInputDevices</code></a> function that lists all available input devices, organize the data they return by input class. Client programs that use these functions should not access data unless it matches a class defined at the time those clients were compiled. In this way, new classes can be added without forcing existing clients that use these functions to be recompiled. </p></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="Using_Extension_Input_Devices"></a>Using Extension Input Devices</h3></div></div></div><p> A client that wishes to access an input device does so through the library functions defined in the following sections. A typical sequence of requests that a client would make is as follows: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p> <a class="xref" href="#XListInputDevices"><code class="function"> XListInputDevices</code></a> - lists all of the available input devices. From the information returned by this request, determine whether the desired input device is attached to the server. For a description of the <a class="xref" href="#XListInputDevices"><code class="function"> XListInputDevices</code></a> request, see the section entitled ``Listing Available Devices.'' </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> <a class="xref" href="#XOpenDevice"><code class="function"> XOpenDevice</code></a> - requests that the server open the device for access by this client. This request returns an <code class="function">XDevice</code> structure that is used by most other input extension requests to identify the specified device. For a description of the <a class="xref" href="#XOpenDevice"><code class="function"> XOpenDevice</code></a> request, see the section entitled ``Enabling and Disabling Extension Devices.'' </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> Determine the event types and event classes needed to select the desired input extension events, and identify them when they are received. This is done via macros whose name corresponds to the desired event, for example, <code class="function">DeviceKeyPress .</code> For a description of these macros, see the section entitled ``Selecting Extension Device Events.'' </p></li><li class="listitem"><p> <a class="xref" href="#XSelectExtensionEvent"><code class="function"> XSelectExtensionEvent</code></a> - selects the desired events from the server.

This is the core <span class="olink"><code class="function">XNextEvent</code></span> function provided by the standard X libarary. </p></li></ul></div><p> Other requests are defined to grab and focus extension devices, to change their key, button, or modifier mappings, to control the propagation of input extension events, to get motion history from an extension device, and to send input extension events to another client. These functions are described in the following sections. </p></div></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="Library_Extension_Requests"></a>Library Extension Requests</h2></div></div></div><p> Extension input devices are accessed by client programs through the use of new protocol requests.

The new pointer device may have a different number of buttons from the old one, or the new keyboard device may have a different number of keys or report a different range of keycodes. Client programs may be running that depend on those characteristics. For example, a client program could allocate an array based on the number of buttons on the pointer device and then use the button numbers received in button events as indices into that array. Changing the core devices could cause such client programs to behave improperly or to terminate abnormally if they ignore the <code class="function">ChangeDeviceNotify</code> event generated by these requests. </p></div><p> These functions change the X keyboard or X pointer device and generate an <code class="function">XChangeDeviceNotify</code> event and a <code class="function">MappingNotify</code> event. The specified device becomes the new X keyboard or X pointer device. The location of the core device does not change as a result of this request. </p><p> These requests fail and return <code class="function">AlreadyGrabbed</code> if either the specified device or the core device it would replace are grabbed by some other client. They fail and return <code class="function">GrabFrozen</code> if either device is frozen by the active grab of another client. </p><p> These requests fail with a <code class="function">BadDevice</code> error if the specified device is invalid, has not previously been opened via <code class="function">XOpenDevice ,</code> or is not supported as a core device by the server implementation. </p><p> Once the device has successfully replaced one of the core devices, it is treated as a core device until it is in turn replaced by another <code class="function">ChangeDevice</code> request or until the server terminates. The termination of the client that changed the device will not cause it to change back. Attempts to use the <a class="xref" href="#XCloseDevice"><code class="function"> XCloseDevice</code></a> request to close the new core device will fail with a <code class="function">BadDevice</code> error. </p><p> To change which physical device is used as the X keyboard, use the <a class="xref" href="#XChangeKeyboardDevice"><code class="function"> XChangeKeyboardDevice</code></a> function.

The client compares the type field of the event structure with known event types to make this determination. </p><p> The core input event types are constants and are defined in the header file <code class="function">< X11/X.h >.</code> Extension event types are not constants. Instead, they are dynamically allocated by the extension's request to the X server when the extension is initialized. Because of this, extension event types must be obtained by the client from the server. </p><p> The client program determines the event type for an extension event by using the information returned by the <a class="xref" href="#XOpenDevice"><code class="function"> XOpenDevice</code></a> request. This type can then be used for comparison with the type field of events received by the client. </p><p> Extension events propagate up the window hierarchy in the same manner as core events. If a window is not interested in an extension event, it usually propagates to the closest ancestor that is interested, unless the dont_propagate list prohibits it. Grabs of extension devices may alter the set of windows that receive a particular extension event. </p><p> The following table lists the event category and its associated event type or types. </p><div class="informaltable"><table class="informaltable" border="1"><colgroup><col align="center" class="c1" /><col align="center" class="c2" /></colgroup><thead><tr><th align="center">Event Category</th><th align="center">Event Type</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="center">Device key</td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceKeyPress</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"> </td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceKeyRelease</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Device motion</td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceButtonPress</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"> </td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceButtonRelease</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"> </td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceMotionNotify</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Device input focus</td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceFocusIn</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"> </td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceFocusOut</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Device state notification</td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceStateNotify</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Device proximity</td><td align="center"><code class="function">ProximityIn</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center"> </td><td align="center"><code class="function">ProximityOut</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Device mapping</td><td align="center"><code class="function">DeviceMappingNotify</code></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Device change</td><td align="center"><code class="function">ChangeDeviceNotify</code></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div class="sect3"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="Event_Classes"></a>Event Classes</h4></div></div></div><p> Event classes are integer numbers that are used in the same way as the core event masks.

Instead, they are dynamically allocated by the extension's request to the X server when the extension is initialized. Because of this, extension event classes must be obtained by the client from the server. </p><p> The event class for an extension event and device is obtained from information returned by the <a class="xref" href="#XOpenDevice"><code class="function"> XOpenDevice</code></a> function.

If the client wants to guarantee that it will receive a <code class="function">DeviceButtonRelease</code> event for each <code class="function">DeviceButtonPress</code> event it receives, it should specify the <code class="function">DeviceButtonPressGrab</code> class in addition to the <code class="function">DeviceButtonPress</code> class. This restricts the client in that only one client at a time may request <code class="function">DeviceButtonPress</code> events from the same device and window if any client specifies this class. </p><p> If any client has specified the <code class="function">DeviceButtonPressGrab</code> class, any requests by any other client that specify the same device and window and specify either <code class="function">DeviceButtonPress</code> or <code class="function">DeviceButtonPressGrab</code> will cause an <code class="function">Access</code> error to be generated. </p><p> If only the <code class="function">DeviceButtonPress</code> class is specified, no implicit passive grab will be done when a button is pressed on the device.

For example, </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> depth: CARD8 </pre><p> becomes: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> 1 CARD8 depth </pre><p> For components with a static numeric value the encode-form is: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> N value name </pre><p> The value is always interpreted as an N-byte unsigned integer. For example, the first two bytes of a Window error are always zero (indicating an error in general) and three (indicating the Window error in particular): </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> 1 0 Error 1 3 code </pre><p> For components described in the protocol as: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> name: <code class="function">{Name1, ..., NameI}</code> </pre><p> </p><p> the encode-form is: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> N name value1 Name1 ... valueI NameI </pre><p> The value is always interpreted as an N-byte unsigned integer. Note that the size of N is sometimes larger than that strictly required to encode the values. For example: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> class: <code class="function">{InputOutput, InputOnly, CopyFromParent}</code> </pre><p> </p><p> becomes: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> 2 class 0 CopyFromParent 1 InputOutput 2 InputOnly </pre><p> For components described in the protocol as: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> NAME: TYPE or <code class="function">Alternative1 ... or AlternativeI</code> </pre><p> </p><p> the encode-form is: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> N TYPE NAME value1 Alternative1 ... valueI AlternativeI </pre><p> The alternative values are guaranteed not to conflict with the encoding of TYPE. For example: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> destination: WINDOW or <code class="function">PointerWindow</code> or <code class="function">InputFocus</code> </pre><p> </p><p> becomes: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> 4 WINDOW destination 0 PointerWindow 1 InputFocus </pre><p> For components described in the protocol as: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> value-mask: BITMASK </pre><p> the encode-form is: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> N BITMASK value-mask mask1 mask-name1 ... maskI mask-nameI </pre><p> The individual bits in the mask are specified and named, and N is 2 or 4. The most-significant bit in a BITMASK is reserved for use in defining chained (multiword) bitmasks, as extensions augment existing core requests. The precise interpretation of this bit is not yet defined here, although a probable mechanism is that a 1-bit indicates that another N bytes of bitmask follows, with bits within the overall mask still interpreted from least-significant to most-significant with an N-byte unit, with N-byte units interpreted in stream order, and with the overall mask being byte-swapped in individual N-byte units. </p><p> For LISTofVALUE encodings, the request is followed by a section of the form: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> VALUEs encode-form ... encode-form </pre><p> listing an encode-form for each VALUE. The NAME in each encode-form keys to the corresponding BITMASK bit. The encoding of a VALUE always occupies four bytes, but the number of bytes specified in the encoding-form indicates how many of the least-significant bytes are actually used; the remaining bytes are unused and their values do not matter. </p><p> In various cases, the number of bytes occupied by a component will be specified by a lowercase single-letter variable name instead of a specific numeric value, and often some other component will have its value specified as a simple numeric expression involving these variables. Components specified with such expressions are always interpreted as unsigned integers. The scope of such variables is always just the enclosing request, reply, error, event, or compound type structure. For example: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> 2 3+n request length 4n LISTofPOINT points </pre><p> For unused bytes (the values of the bytes are undefined and do not matter), the encode-form is: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> N unused </pre><p> If the number of unused bytes is variable, the encode-form typically is: </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> p unused, p=pad(E) </pre><p> where E is some expression, and pad(E) is the number of bytes needed to round E up to a multiple of four. </p><p> </p><pre class="literallayout"> pad(E) = (4 - (E mod 4)) mod 4 </pre><p>
