XSetPointerMapping(3X11)    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.

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.
