.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
.if n \{\

.nf
The XIQueryDevice returns information about one or more input
devices\&. If the deviceid specifies a device, ndevices_return is
1 and the returned information describes only the requested
device\&. If deviceid is XIAllDevices or XIAllMasterDevices,
ndevices_return is the number of devices or master devices,
respectively, and the returned information represents all
devices or all master devices, respectively\&.

.\}
.sp
.if n \{\

The deviceid is the numeric unique id of the device\&. A deviceid
is unique for the life\-time of a device but a server may re\-use
the id once a device has been removed\&.
.fi

The name points to a null\-terminated string specifying the
identifier of the device\&.

.nf
The use and attachment fields specify the type of the device
and the current attachment or pairing\&.
\- If use is XIMasterPointer, the device is a master pointer and
attachment specifies the deviceid of the paired master
keyboard\&.

and the attachment field specifies the paired master pointer\&.
\- If use is XISlavePointer, the device is a slave device and
currently attached to the master pointer specified in
attachement\&.
\- If use is XISlaveKeyboard, the device is a slave device an
currently attached to the master keyboard specified in
attachment\&.
\- If use is XIFloatingSlave, the device is a slave device
currently not attached to any master device\&. The value of the
attachment field for floating slave devices is undefined\&.

The sourceid is the deviceid this class originated from\&. For
