NAME
     XSetPointerMapping, XGetPointerMapping - manipulate pointer
     settings

SYNTAX
     int XSetPointerMapping(display, map, nmap)
           Display *display;
           unsigned char map[];
           int nmap;

     int XGetPointerMapping(display, map_return, nmap)
           Display *display;
           unsigned char map_return[];
           int nmap;

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the XWIN 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 XWIN server generates a Map-
     pingNotify event, and XSetPointerMapping returns MappingSuc-
     cess.  Elements of the list are indexed starting from one.
     The length of the list must be the same as XGetPointerMap-
     ping would return, or a BadValue error results.  The index
     is a core button number, and the element of the list defines
     the effective number.  A zero element disables a button, and
     elements are not restricted in value by the number of physi-
     cal 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, XSet-
     PointerMapping returns MappingBusy, and the mapping is not
     changed.

     XSetPointerMapping can generate a BadValue error.

     The XGetPointerMapping function returns the current mapping
     of the pointer.  Elements of the list are indexed starting
     from one.  XGetPointerMapping returns the number of physical
     buttons actually on the pointer.  The nominal mapping for a
     pointer is the identity mapping: map[i]=i.  The nmap argu-
     ment 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 gen-
               erate this error.
