Re: Fetching symbols information with XKBlib

You can fetch names of groups that are symbolic names specified in
xkb/symbols/* files like
name[Group1] = "Russian";

The function for getting these names is
XkbGetNames(dpy, XkbGroupNamesMask, xkb);
where 'xkb' is a pointer (XkbDescrPtr) to some structure 'XKB Description'.

You have to allocate this decription structure with XkbAllocKeyboard(void)
before XkbGetNames call.
If XkbGetName is completed successfully the names will appear in the array
of Atoms
xkb->names->groups[]
