+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.I XkbCopyKeyTypes
+copies
+.I num_types
+XkbKeyTypeRec structures from the array specified by
+.I from
+into the array specified by
+.I 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
+.I from
+and
+.I into
+parameters in
+.I XkbCopyKeyType
+apply to each entry of the
+.I from
+and
+.I into
+arrays of
+.I XkbCopyKeyTypes.
+If any allocation errors occur while copying
+.I from
+to
+.I into, XkbCopyKeyTypes
+returns BadAlloc. Otherwise,
+.I XkbCopyKeyTypes
+copies
+.I from
+to
+.I into
+and returns Success.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 15
+Success
+The XkbCopyKeyTypes function returns Success when there are no allocation
+errors.
+.SH STRUCTURES
+.LP
+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
+.I types
+field of the client map, whose total size is stored in
+.I size_types,
+and whose total number of valid entries is stored in
+.I num_types.
+Key types are defined using the following structure:
+.nf
+
+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;
+.fi
