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	speci-
       fication	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 han-
       dling of	illegal	groups on a global basis. That is, when	the user  per-
       forms  an  action  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 guarantee 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	situa-
       tion.

       Out-of-range groups for individual keys are mapped to a legal group us-
       ing  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
       structure 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 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 */

	   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)
