+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Xkb provides several functions that make it easier to apply the compatibility
+map to configure a client-side Xkb keyboard mapping, given a core protocol
+representation of part or all of a keyboard mapping. Obtain a core protocol
+representation of a keyboard mapping from an actual server (by using
+.I XGetKeyboardMapping,
+for example), a data file, or some other source.
+
+.I XkbUpdateMapFromCore
+interprets input argument information representing a keyboard map in core format
+to update the Xkb keyboard description passed in
+.I xkb.
+Only a portion of the Xkb map is updated - the portion corresponding to keys
+with keycodes in the range
+.I first_key
+through
+.I first_key + num_keys - 1.
+If
+.I XkbUpdateMapFromCore
+is being called in response to a MappingNotify event,
+.I first_key
+and
+.I num_keys
+are reported in the MappingNotify event.
+.I core_keysyms
+contains the keysyms corresponding to the keycode range being updated, in core
+keyboard description order.
+.I map_width
+is the number of keysyms per key in
+.I core_keysyms.
+Thus, the first
+.I map_width
+entries in
+.I core_keysyms
+are for the key with keycode
+.I first_key,
+the next
+.I map_width
+entries are for key
+.I first_key + 1,
+and so on.
+
+In addition to modifying the Xkb keyboard mapping in
+.I xkb, XkbUpdateMapFromCore
+backfills the changes structure whose address is passed in
+.I changes
+to indicate the modifications that were made. You may then use
+.I changes
+in subsequent calls such as
+.I XkbSetMap,
+to propagate the local modifications to a server.
