XkbAddGeomProperty(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomProperty(3)
NAME
XkbAddGeomProperty - Add one property to an existing keyboard geometry
description
SYNOPSIS
XkbPropertyPtr XkbAddGeomProperty (XkbGeometryPtr geom, _Xconst char
*name, _Xconst char *value);
ARGUMENTS
geom geometry to be updated
name name of the new property
value value for the new property
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level key-
board 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 func-
tions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.
The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry proper-
ties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary 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.
XkbAddGeomProperty adds one property with the specified name and value
to the keyboard geometry specified by geom. XkbAddGeomProperty returns
NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate
space for the property. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of
properties, use the XkbAllocGeomProps function.
