# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

*XkbGetKeyActions* sends a request to the server to obtain the actions for *num* keys on the keyboard starting with key *first.* It waits for a reply and returns the actions in the *server->key\_acts* field of *xkb.* If successful, *XkbGetKeyActions* returns Success. The *xkb* parameter must be a pointer to a valid Xkb keyboard description.

If the *server* map, in the *xkb* parameter, has not been allocated, *XkbGetKeyActions* 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, *XkbGetKeyActions* returns BadAccess. If *num* is less than 1 or greater than XkbMaxKeyCount, *XkbGetKeyActions* returns BadValue. If any allocation errors occur, *XkbGetKeyActions* returns BadAlloc.
