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;
