Call XkbQueryExtension to check for the presence and compatibility of the extension in the server and to
initialize the extension. Because of potential version mismatches, you cannot use the generic extension
mechanism functions ( XQueryExtension and XInitExtension ) for checking for the presence of, and
initializing the Xkb extension.
You must call XkbQueryExtension or XkbOpenDisplay before using any other Xkb library interfaces, unless
such usage is explicitly allowed in the interface description in this document. The exceptions are:
XkbIgnoreExtension,XkbLibraryVersion, and a handful of audible-bell functions. You should not use any
other Xkb functions if the extension is not present or is uninitialized. In general, calls to Xkb library
functions made prior to initializing the Xkb extension cause BadAccess protocol errors.
XkbQueryExtension both determines whether a compatible Xkb extension is present in the X server and
initializes the extension when it is present.
The XkbQueryExtension function determines whether a compatible version of the X Keyboard Extension is
present in the server. If a compatible extension is present, XkbQueryExtension returns True; otherwise,
it returns False.
If a compatible version of Xkb is present, XkbQueryExtension initializes the extension. It backfills the
major opcode for the keyboard extension in opcode_rtrn, the base event code in event_rtrn, the base error
code in error_rtrn, and the major and minor version numbers of the extension in major_in_out and
minor_in_out. The major opcode is reported in the req_major fields of some Xkb events. For a discussion
of the base event code.
