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.
