        Specifies an address into which the number of feedbacks
        supported by thedevice is to be returned.
 
 mask
        Specifies a mask specific to each type of feedback that

DESCRIPTION

 These requests are provided to manipulate those input devices
 that support feedbacks. A BadMatch error will be generated if
 the requested device does not support feedbacks. Whether or not
 a given device supports feedbacks can be determined by
 examining the information returned by the XOpenDevice request.
 For those devices that support feedbacks, XOpenDevice will
 return an XInputClassInfo structure with the input_class field
 equal to the constant FeedbackClass (defined in the file XI.h).
 
 The XGetFeedbackControl request returns a pointer to a list of
 XFeedbackState structures. Each item in this list describes one
 of the feedbacks supported by the device. The items are
 variable length, so each contains its length to allow traversal
 to the next item in the list.
 
 The feedback classes that are currently defined are:
 KbdFeedbackClass, PtrFeedbackClass, StringFeedbackClass,
 IntegerFeedbackClass, LedFeedbackClass, and BellFeedbackClass.
 These constants are defined in the file XI.h. An input device
 may support zero or more classes of feedback, and may support
 multiple feedbacks of the same class. Each feedback contains a
 class identifier and an id that is unique within that class for
 that input device. The id is used to identify the feedback when
 making an XChangeFeedbackControl request.
 
 XGetFeedbackControl can generate a BadDevice or BadMatch error.
 
 The XChangeFeedbackControl request modifies the values of one
 feedback on the specified device. The feedback is identified by
 the id field of the XFeedbackControl structure that is passed
 with the request. The fields of the feedback that are to be
 modified are identified by the bits of the mask that is passed
 with the request.
 
 XChangeFeedbackControl can generate a BadDevice, BadMatch, or
 BadValue error.
 

Structures

 Each class of feedback is described by a structure specific to
 that class. These structures are defined in the file XInput.h.
 XFeedbackState and XFeedbackControl are generic structures that
 contain three fields that are at the beginning of each class of
 feedback:
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 } XFeedbackState,
 XFeedbackControl;
 
 The XKbdFeedbackState structure defines the attributes that are
 returned for feedbacks equivalent to those on the X keyboard.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int click;
 int percent;
 int pitch;
 int duration;
 int led_mask;
 int global_auto_repeat;
 char auto_repeats[32];
 } XKbdFeedbackState;
 
 The XPtrFeedbackState structure defines the attributes that are
 returned for feedbacks equivalent to those on the the X
 pointer.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int accelNum;
 int accelDenom;
 int threshold;
 } XPtrFeedbackState;
 
 The XIntegerFeedbackState structure defines attributes that are
 returned for integer feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int resolution;
 int minVal;
 int maxVal;
 } XIntegerFeedbackState;
 
 The XStringFeedbackState structure defines the attributes that
 are returned for string feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int max_symbols;
 int num_syms_supported;
 KeySym *syms_supported;
 } XStringFeedbackState;
 
 The XBellFeedbackState structure defines the attributes that
 are returned for bell feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int percent;
 int pitch;
 int duration;
 } XBellFeedbackState;
 
 The XLedFeedbackState structure defines the attributes that are
 returned for LED feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct { XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int led_values;
 } XLedFeedbackState;
 
 The XPrtFeedbackControl structure defines the attributes that
 can be controlled for pointer feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int accelNum;
 int accelDenom;
 int threshold;
 } XPtrFeedbackControl;
 
 The XKbdFeedbackControl structure defines the attributes that
 can be controlled for keyboard feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int click;
 int percent;
 int pitch;
 int duration;
 int led_mask;
 int led_value;
 int key;
 int auto_repeat_mode;
 } XKbdFeedbackControl;
 
 The XStringFeedbackControl structure defines the attributes
 that can be controlled for string feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int num_keysyms;
 KeySym  *syms_to_display;
 } XStringFeedbackControl;
 
 The XIntegerFeedbackControl structure defines the attributes
 that can be controlled for integer feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID class;
 int length;
 XID id;
 int int_to_display;
 } XIntegerFeedbackControl;
 
 The XBellFeedbackControl structure defines the attributes that
 can be controlled for bell feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID     class;
 int     length;
 XID     id;
 int     percent;
 int     pitch;
 int     duration;
 } XBellFeedbackControl;
 
 The XLedFeedbackControl structure defines the attributes that
 can be controlled for LED feedbacks.
 
 typedef struct {
 XID     class;
 int     length;
 XID     id;
 int     led_mask;
 int     led_values;
 } XLedFeedbackControl;
 

DIAGNOSTICS

 BadDevice
        An invalid device was specified. The specified device
        does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
        XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if some
        other client has caused the specified device to become
        the X keyboard or X pointer device via the
        XChangeKeyboardDevice or XChangePointerDevice requests.
 
 BadMatch
        This error may occur if an XGetFeedbackControl request
        was made specifying a device that has no feedbacks, or
        an XChangeFeedbackControl request was made with an
        XFeedbackControl structure that contains an invalid
        feedback type. It may also occur if an invalid
        combination of mask bits is specified ( DvKey but no
        DvAutoRepeatMode for keyboard feedbacks), or if an
        invalid KeySym is specified for a string feedback.
 
 BadValue
        Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
        accepted by the XChangeFeedbackControl 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.
