XKB FUNCTIONS                          XkbAllocGeomOutlines(3x11)



NAME
     XkbAllocGeomOutlines  -  Allocate  space  for  an  arbitrary
     number of outlines to a shape

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

     Status   XkbAllocGeomOutlines   (XkbShapePtr   shape,    int
          num_needed);

ARGUMENTS
     - shape
          shape for which outlines should be allocated

     - num_needed
          number of new outlines required

DESCRIPTION
     Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free sub-
     components  of  a  keyboard geometry. Use these functions to
     create or modify keyboard geometries. Note that these  func-
     tions  merely  allocate space for the new element(s), and it
     is up to you to fill in the values explicitly 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 BadValue if a parameter is not as
     expected.

     XkbAllocGeomOutlines allocates space for num_needed outlines
     in the specified shape. The outlines are not initialized.

     To free geometry outlines, use XkbFreeGeomOutlines.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

     BadValue       An argument is out of range
