# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

*XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping* is the Xkb equivalent of the core *XRefreshKeyboardMapping* function. It requests that the X server send the current key mapping information to this client. A client usually invokes *XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping* after receiving an XkbMapNotify event. *XkbRefreshKeyboardMapping* returns Success if it succeeds and BadMatch if the event is not an Xkb event.

The XkbMapNotify event can be generated when some client calls *XkbSetMap, XkbChangeMap, XkbGetKeyboardByName,* or any of the standard X library functions that change the keyboard mapping or modifier mapping.
