XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3)

NAME
       XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int numneeded);

ARGUMENTS
       - geom geometry for which key aliases should be allocated

       - numneeded
              number of new key aliases required

DESCRIPTION
       Xkb  provides  a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents
       of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create  or  modify  key‐
       board  geometries.  Note that these functions merely allocate space for
       the new element(s), and it is up to you to fill in the  values  explic‐
       itly  in  your code. These allocation functions increase sz* but never
       touch num* (unless there is an allocation failure, in which case  they
       reset  both  sz* and num* to zero). These functions return Success if
       they succeed, BadAlloc if they are not able to allocate space, or  Bad‐
       Value if a parameter is not as expected.

       XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases  allocates  space for numneeded key aliases and
       adds them to the specified geometry geom.  A key alias  is  a  pair  of
       strings  that associates an alternate name for a key with the real name
       for that key.

       To free geometry key aliases, use XkbFreeGeomKeyAliases.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
