# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

*XkbGetKeyBehaviors* sends a request to the server to obtain the behaviors for *num* keys on the keyboard starting with the key whose keycode is *first.* It waits for a reply and returns the behaviors in the *server->behaviors* field of *xkb.* If successful, *XkbGetKeyBehaviors* returns Success.

If the *server* map in the *xkb* parameter has not been allocated, *XkbGetKeyBehaviors* allocates and initializes it before obtaining the actions.

If the server does not have a compatible version of Xkb, or the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, *XkbGetKeyBehaviors* returns BadAccess. If *num* is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount, *XkbGetKeyBehaviors* returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, *XkbGetKeyBehaviors* returns BadAlloc.
