XKB FUNCTIONS                              XkbAllocGeometry(3x11)



NAME
     XkbAllocGeometry - Allocate an entire geometry

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

     Status XkbAllocGeometry (XkbDescPtr xkb, XkbGeometrySizesPtr
          sizes);

ARGUMENTS
     - xkb
          keyboard description for which geometry is to be  allo-
          cated

     - sizes
          initial sizes for all geometry components

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.

     XkbAllocGeometry allocates a keyboard geometry and  adds  it
     to  the  keyboard description specified by xkb. The keyboard
     description should be obtained  via  the  XkbGetKeyboard  or
     XkbAllocKeyboard  functions.  The  sizes parameter specifies
     the number of elements to be reserved for the  subcomponents
     of the keyboard geometry and can be zero or more. These sub-
     components include the properties, colors, shapes, sections,
     and doodads.

     To free an entire geometry, use XkbFreeGeometry.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

     BadValue       An argument is out of range
