XKB FUNCTIONS                              XkbResizeKeySyms(3x11)



NAME
     XkbResizeKeySyms - Change the number of symbols bound  to  a
     key

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

     KeySym * XkbResizeKeySyms (XkbDescRec  *xkb,  int  key,  int
          needed);

ARGUMENTS
     - xkb
          keyboard description to be changed

     - key
          keycode for key to modify

     - needed
          new number of keysyms required for key

DESCRIPTION
     XkbResizeKeySyms  reserves  the  space  needed  for   needed
     keysyms  and  returns  a pointer to the beginning of the new
     array that holds the keysyms. It adjusts the offset field of
     the  key_sym_map entry for the key if necessary and can also
     change the syms, num_syms, and size_syms fields of  xkb->map
     if   it   is   necessary   to  reallocate  the  syms  array.
     XkbResizeKeySyms does not modify either the width or  number
     of groups associated with the key.

     If needed is greater than the current number of keysyms  for
     the key, XkbResizeKeySyms initializes all new keysyms in the
     array to NoSymbol.

     Because the number of symbols needed by a  key  is  normally
     computed  as  width * number of groups, and XkbResizeKeySyms
     does not modify either the width or number of groups for the
     key,  a discrepancy exists upon return from XkbResizeKeySyms
     between the space allocated for the keysyms and  the  number
     required. The unused entries in the list of symbols returned
     by XkbResizeKeySyms are not preserved across future calls to
     any of the map editing functions, so you must update the key
     symbol mapping (which updates the width and number of groups
     for  the  key)  before calling another allocator function. A
     call to XkbChangeTypesOfKey will update the mapping.

     If any allocation errors occur while resizing the number  of
     symbols bound to the key, XkbResizeKeySyms returns NULL.

NOTES
     A change to the number of symbols bound to a key  should  be
     accompanied  by a change in the number of actions bound to a
     key. Refer to XkbResizeKeyActions for  more  information  on
     changing the number of actions bound to a key.
