XSetPointerMapping(3X11) XSetPointerMapping(3X11)
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.
