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.
