XKB FUNCTIONS                            XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3x11)



NAME
     XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an  existing  key-
     board geometry description

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, char
          *alias, char *real);

ARGUMENTS
     - geom
          geometry to be updated

     - alias
          alias to be added

     - real
          real name to be bound to the new alias

DESCRIPTION
     Xkb provides functions to add a single new  element  to  the
     top-level  keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields
     of the corresponding structure is incremented  by  1.  These
     functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in
     the array. Some of these functions fill in the values of the
     element's structure from the arguments. For other functions,
     you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's  ele-
     ments.

     The  top-level  geometry  description  includes  a  list  of
     geometry properties. A geometry property associates an arbi-
     trary string with an equally arbitrary name.  Programs  that
     display  images  of keyboards can use geometry properties as
     hints, but  they  are  not  interpreted  by  Xkb.  No  other
     geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

     XkbAddGeomKeyAlias adds one key alias with the  value  alias
     to  the  geometry geom, and associates it with the key whose
     real name is real. XkbAddGeomKeyAlias returns NULL if any of
     the  parameters  is  empty or if it was not able to allocate
     space for the alias. To  allocate  space  for  an  arbitrary
     number of aliases, use the XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases function.

STRUCTURES
         typedef struct {
             char            real[XkbKeyNameLength];   /* this key name must be in the keys array */
             char            alias[XkbKeyNameLength];  /* symbolic key name as alias for the key */
         } XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
