display
Specifies the connection to the X server\&.
.fi

device
Specifies the device whose feedbacks are to be queried
or modified\&.
.fi
.sp

num_feedbacks
Specifies an address into which the number of feedbacks
supported by thedevice is to be returned\&.
.fi
.sp

mask
Specifies a mask specific to each type of feedback that
describes howthe feedback is to be modified\&.
.fi

Specifies the address of an XFeedbackControl structure
that containsthe new values for the feedback\&.
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
These requests are provided to manipulate those input devices
that support feedbacks\&. A BadMatch error will be generated if
the requested device does not support feedbacks\&. Whether or not
a given device supports feedbacks can be determined by
examining the information returned by the XOpenDevice request\&.
For those devices that support feedbacks, XOpenDevice will
return an XInputClassInfo structure with the input_class field
equal to the constant FeedbackClass (defined in the file XI\&.h)\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XGetFeedbackControl request returns a pointer to a list of
XFeedbackState structures\&. Each item in this list describes one
of the feedbacks supported by the device\&. The items are
variable length, so each contains its length to allow traversal
to the next item in the list\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The feedback classes that are currently defined are:
KbdFeedbackClass, PtrFeedbackClass, StringFeedbackClass,
IntegerFeedbackClass, LedFeedbackClass, and BellFeedbackClass\&.
These constants are defined in the file XI\&.h\&. An input device
may support zero or more classes of feedback, and may support
multiple feedbacks of the same class\&. Each feedback contains a
class identifier and an id that is unique within that class for
that input device\&. The id is used to identify the feedback when
making an XChangeFeedbackControl request\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
XGetFeedbackControl can generate a BadDevice or BadMatch error\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
The XChangeFeedbackControl request modifies the values of one
feedback on the specified device\&. The feedback is identified by
the id field of the XFeedbackControl structure that is passed
with the request\&. The fields of the feedback that are to be
modified are identified by the bits of the mask that is passed
with the request\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
XChangeFeedbackControl can generate a BadDevice, BadMatch, or
BadValue error\&.

Structures
.sp

.nf
Each class of feedback is described by a structure specific to
that class\&. These structures are defined in the file XInput\&.h\&.
XFeedbackState and XFeedbackControl are generic structures that
contain three fields that are at the beginning of each class of
feedback:

.nf
BadDevice
An invalid device was specified\&. The specified device
does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
XOpenInputDevice\&. This error may also occur if some
other client has caused the specified device to become
the X keyboard or X pointer device via the
XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
BadMatch
This error may occur if an XGetFeedbackControl request
was made specifying a device that has no feedbacks, or
an XChangeFeedbackControl request was made with an
XFeedbackControl structure that contains an invalid
feedback type\&. It may also occur if an invalid
combination of mask bits is specified ( DvKey but no
DvAutoRepeatMode for keyboard feedbacks), or if an
invalid KeySym is specified for a string feedback\&.
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4

.nf
BadValue
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
accepted by the XChangeFeedbackControl request\&. Unless a
specific range is specified for an argument, the full
range defined by the argument\*(Aqs type is accepted\&. Any
argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate
this error\&.
