The XkbIndicatorChangesRec identifies small modifications to the indicator map. Use it with the function XkbChangeIndicators to reduce the amount of traffic sent to the server (see STRUCTURES).
The state_changes field is a mask that specifies the indicators that have changed state, and map_changes is a mask that specifies the indicators whose maps have changed.
XkbChangeIndicators copies any maps specified by changes from the keyboard description, xkb, to the server specified by dpy. If any bits are set in the state_changes field of changes, XkbChangeIndicators also sets the state of those indicators to the values specified in the state mask. A 1 bit in state turns the corresponding indicator on, a 0 bit turns it off.
In addition, it can also generate XkbIndicatorStateNotify and XkbIndicatorMapNotify events.
Whenever an indicator changes state, the server sends XkbIndicatorStateNotify events to all interested clients. Similarly, whenever an indicator’s map changes, the server sends XkbIndicatorMapNotify events to all interested clients.
To receive XkbIndicatorStateNotify events, use XkbSelectEvents with both the bits_to_change and values_for_bits parameters containing XkbIndicatorStateNotifyMask. To receive XkbIndicatorMapNotify events, use XkbSelectEvents with XkbIndicatorMapNotifyMask.
To receive events for only specific indicators, use XkbSelectEventDetails. Set the event_type parameter to XkbIndicatorStateNotify or XkbIndicatorMapNotify, and set both the bits_to_change and values_for_bits detail parameters to a mask where each bit specifies one indicator, turning on those bits that specify the indicators for which you want to receive events.
xkb_type is either XkbIndicatorStateNotify or XkbIndicatorMapNotify, depending on whether the event is a kbIndicatorStateNotify event or kbIndicatorMapNotify event.
The changed parameter is a mask that is the bitwise inclusive OR of the indicators that have changed. If the event is of type XkbIndicatorMapNotify, changed reports the maps that changed. If the event is of type XkbIndicatorStateNotify, changed reports the indicators that have changed state. state is a mask that specifies the current state of all indicators, whether they have changed or not, for both XkbIndicatorStateNotify and IndicatorMapNotify events.

Both types of indicator events use the same structure:

unsigned int changed; /∗ mask of indicators with new
state or map */
unsigned int state; /∗ current state of all
