DESCRIPTION

       XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber returns the out-of-range group number,  represented  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 specification 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 handling of illegal
       groups on a global basis. That is, when the user performs 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 situation.

       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.
