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.  Elements of the list are indexed starting
     from one.  The length of the list must be the same as
     XGetPointerMapping would return, or a BadValue error
     results.  The index is a core button number, and the element
     of the list defines the effective number.  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.  Elements of the list are indexed starting
     from one.  XGetPointerMapping returns the number of physical
     buttons actually on the pointer.  The nominal mapping for a
     pointer is the identity mapping: map[i]=i.  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.
