XkbCopyKeyType(3)


NAME

   XkbCopyKeyType - Copy one XkbKeyTypeRec structures

SYNOPSIS

   Status XkbCopyKeyType (XkbKeyTypePtr from, XkbKeyTypePtr into);

ARGUMENTS

   - from pointer to XkbKeyTypeRec to be copied

   - into pointer to XkbKeyTypeRec to be changed

DESCRIPTION

   XkbCopyKeyType  copies  the  key type specified by from to the key type
   specified by into.  Both must point to legal XkbKeyTypeRec  structures.
   Xkb  assumes  from  and  into  point  to different places. As a result,
   overlaps  can  be  fatal.   XkbCopyKeyType  frees  any  existing   map,
   preserve,  and  level_names in into prior to copying. If any allocation
   errors  occur  while  copying  from  to  into,  XkbCopyKeyType  returns
   BadAlloc.  Otherwise,  XkbCopyKeyType  copies  from to into and returns
   Success.

STRUCTURES

   Key types are used to determine the shift level  of  a  key  given  the
   current  state  of  the keyboard. The set of all possible key types for
   the Xkb keyboard description are held in the types field of the  client
   map,  whose  total size is stored in size_types, and whose total number
   of valid entries is stored in num_types.  Key types are  defined  using
   the following structure:

   typedef struct {                   / Key Type */
       XkbModsRec        mods;        / modifiers used to compute shift level */
       unsigned char     num_levels;  / total # shift levels, do not modify directly */
       unsigned char     map_count;   / # entries in map, preserve (if non-NULL) */
       XkbKTMapEntryPtr  map;         / vector of modifiers for each shift level */
       XkbModsPtr        preserve;    / mods to preserve for corresponding map entry */
       Atom              name;        / name of key type */
       Atom *            level_names; / array of names of each shift level */
   } XkbKeyTypeRec, *XkbKeyTypePtr;

DIAGNOSTICS

   BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage
