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

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you.
