NAME

       XkbCopyKeyTypes - Copy more than one XkbKeyTypeRec structure

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbCopyKeyTypes (XkbKeyTypePtr from, XkbKeyTypePtr into, int num_types);

ARGUMENTS

       - from pointer to array of XkbKeyTypeRecs to copy

       - into pointer to array of XkbKeyTypeRecs to change

       - num_types
              number of types to copy

DESCRIPTION

       XkbCopyKeyTypes copies num_types XkbKeyTypeRec structures from the array specified by from into the array
       specified by into.  It is intended for copying between, rather than within, keyboard descriptions, so  it
       doesn't  check  for overlaps. The same rules that apply to the from and into parameters in XkbCopyKeyType
       apply to each entry of the from and into arrays of XkbCopyKeyTypes.  If any allocation errors occur while
       copying  from  to  into, XkbCopyKeyTypes returns BadAlloc. Otherwise, XkbCopyKeyTypes copies from to into
       and returns Success.

RETURN VALUES

       Success        The XkbCopyKeyTypes function returns Success when there are no allocation errors.

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;
