XKB FUNCTIONS                                XkbCopyKeyType(3x11)



NAME
     XkbCopyKeyType - Copy one XkbKeyTypeRec structures

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     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 XkbKey-
     TypeRec structures. Xkb assumes from and into point to  dif-
     ferent   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 pos-
     sible 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
