XkbKeyGroupInfo(3)		  XKB FUNCTIONS 	      XkbKeyGroupInfo(3)

NAME
     XkbKeyGroupInfo  - Returns the number of groups of symbols bound to the key
     corresponding to keycode

SYNOPSIS
     unsigned char XkbKeyGroupInfo (XkbDescPtr xkb, KeyCode keycode);

ARGUMENTS
     xkb    Xkb description of interest

     keycode
	    keycode of interest

DESCRIPTION
     The group_info field of an XkbSymMapRec is an encoded value containing  the
     number  of  groups of symbols bound to the key as well as the specification
     of the treatment of out-of-range groups. It is legal for a key to have zero
     groups, in which case it also has zero symbols and all events from that key
     yield NoSymbol.  To obtain the number of groups of  symbols  bound  to  the
     key,  use	XkbKeyNumGroups.  To change the number of groups bound to a key,
     use XkbChangeTypesOfKey.  To obtain a mask that determines the treatment of
     out-of-range groups, use XkbKeyGroupInfo and XkbOutOfRangeGroupInfo.

     The keyboard controls contain a groups_wrap field specifying  the	handling
     of illegal groups on a global basis. That is, when the user performs an ac-
     tion  causing  the  effective  group  to  go  out	of  the legal range, the
     groups_wrap field specifies how to normalize the effective  keyboard  group
     to a group that is legal for the keyboard as a whole, but there is no guar-
     antee  that  the  normalized group will be within the range of legal groups
     for any individual key. The per-key group_info field specifies  how  a  key
     treats  a	legal  effective group if the key does not have a type specified
     for the group of concern. For example, the Enter key usually has  just  one
     group  defined.  If the user performs an action causing the global keyboard
     group to change to Group2, the group_info field for the Enter key describes
     how to handle this situation.

     Out-of-range groups for individual keys are mapped to a legal  group  using
     the same options as are used for the overall keyboard group. The particular
     type  of mapping used is controlled by the bits set in the group_info flag,
     as shown in Table 1.

     XkbKeyGroupInfo returns the group_info field from the  XkbSymMapRec  struc-
     ture associated with the key corresponding to keycode.

STRUCTURES
     The KeySymMapRec structure is defined as follows:

     #define XkbNumKbdGroups		 4
     #define XkbMaxKbdGroup		 (XkbNumKbdGroups-1)

     typedef struct {			 /* map to keysyms for a single keycode */
	 unsigned char	     kt_index[XkbNumKbdGroups];  /* key type index for each group */
	 unsigned char	     group_info; /* # of groups and out of range group handling */
	 unsigned char	     width;	 /* max # of shift levels for key */
	 unsigned short      offset;	 /* index to keysym table in syms array */
     } XkbSymMapRec, *XkbSymMapPtr;

     The XkbControlsRec structure is defined as follows:

     #define XkbMaxLegalKeyCode     255
     #define XkbPerKeyBitArraySize  ((XkbMaxLegalKeyCode+1)/8)

     typedef struct {
	 unsigned char	 mk_dflt_btn;	   /* default button for keyboard driven mouse */
	 unsigned char	 num_groups;	   /* number of keyboard groups */
	 unsigned char	 groups_wrap;	   /* how to wrap out-of-bounds groups */
	 XkbModsRec	 internal;	   /* defines server internal modifiers */
	 XkbModsRec	 ignore_lock;	   /* modifiers to ignore when checking for grab */
	 unsigned int	 enabled_ctrls;    /* 1 bit => corresponding boolean control enabled */
	 unsigned short  repeat_delay;	   /* ms delay until first repeat */
	 unsigned short  repeat_interval;  /* ms delay between repeats */
	 unsigned short  slow_keys_delay;  /* ms minimum time key must be down to be ok */
	 unsigned short  debounce_delay;   /* ms delay before key reactivated */
	 unsigned short  mk_delay;	   /* ms delay to second mouse motion event */
	 unsigned short  mk_interval;	   /* ms delay between repeat mouse events */
	 unsigned short  mk_time_to_max;   /* # intervals until constant mouse move */
	 unsigned short  mk_max_speed;	   /* multiplier for maximum mouse speed */
	 short		 mk_curve;	   /* determines mouse move curve type */
	 unsigned short  ax_options;	   /* 1 bit => Access X option enabled */
	 unsigned short  ax_timeout;	   /* seconds until Access X disabled */
	 unsigned short  axt_opts_mask;    /* 1 bit => options to reset on Access X timeout */
	 unsigned short  axt_opts_values;  /* 1 bit => turn option on, 0=> off */
	 unsigned int	 axt_ctrls_mask;   /* which bits in enabled_ctrls to modify */
	 unsigned int	 axt_ctrls_values; /* values for new bits in enabled_ctrls */
	 unsigned char	 per_key_repeat[XkbPerKeyBitArraySize];  /* per key auto repeat */
     } XkbControlsRec, *XkbControlsPtr;

     The XkbControlsRec structure is defined as follows:

     #define XkbMaxLegalKeyCode     255
     #define XkbPerKeyBitArraySize  ((XkbMaxLegalKeyCode+1)/8)

     typedef struct {
