XSetPointerMapping(3X11)
X11R6
NAME
  XSetPointerMapping, XGetPointerMapping - manipulate pointer settings

SYNOPSIS
  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.
