+			<brief>Return keymap from current mapping</brief>
+			<description>
+Assembles and returns a keymap from the current mapping and specified elements from the server
+database of keymap components for the keyboard specified by deviceSpec, and optionally replaces
+the current keyboard mapping with the newly generated description. If deviceSpec does not specify
+a valid keyboard device, a Keyboard error results.
+
+The want field lists the pieces of the keyboard description that the client wants to have reported
+for the newly constructed keymap. The need field lists all of the pieces that must be reported.
+If any of the pieces in need cannot be loaded from the specified names, no description of the
+keyboard is returned.
+
+The data field holds the concetanation of keymapsSpec, keycodesSpec, typesSpec, compatMapSpec,
+symbolsSpec and geometrySpec component expressions. Each of them composed of CARD8 length field
+followed by the payload bytes. NO PADDING applied between them!
