XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber(3)	 XKB FUNCTIONS	   XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber(3)

NAME
       XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber	 - Returns the out-of-range group number, rep-
       resented	as a group index, from the group_info field of an XkbSymMapRec
       structure

SYNOPSIS
       unsigned	char XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber (unsigned	char grp_inf);

ARGUMENTS
       - grp_inf
	      Xkb description of interest

DESCRIPTION
       XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber	 returns the out-of-range group	number,	repre-
       sented as a group index,	from the group_info field of  an  XkbSymMapRec
       structure.

       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.
