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 macro ( xkb, keycode )
	     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
       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
       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       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   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)
