     X Version 11 (Release 5)                 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 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 XSetPointerMapping 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 results.  A zero element disables a button,
          and elements are not restricted 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.  XGetPointerMapping 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.

                    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.
