XkbAllocControls(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocControls(3)
NAME
XkbAllocControls - Allocates an XkbControlsRec structure in the XkbDe-
scRec
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocControls (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which);
ARGUMENTS
xkb Xkb description in which to allocate ctrls rec
which mask of components of ctrls to allocate
DESCRIPTION
The need to allocate an XkbControlsRec structure seldom arises; Xkb cre-
ates one when an application calls XkbGetControls or a related function.
For those situations where there is not an XkbControlsRec structure al-
located in the XkbDescRec, allocate one by calling XkbAllocControls.
XkbAllocControls allocates the ctrls field of the xkb parameter, ini-
tializes all fields to zero, and returns Success. If the ctrls field is
not NULL, XkbAllocControls simply returns Success. If xkb is NULL, Xk-
bAllocControls reports a BadMatch error. If the ctrls field could not be
allocated, it reports a BadAlloc error.
The which mask specifies the individual fields of the ctrls structure to
be allocated and can contain any of the valid masks defined in Table 1.
(SHOULD THIS COMMENT BE LEFT IN????) Because none of the currently ex-
isting controls have any structures associated with them, which is cur-
rently of little practical value in this call.
Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to se-
lect controls for modification and to enable and disable the control.
Note that the same mask bit is used to specify general modifications to
the parameters used to configure the control (which), and to enable and
disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok"
in column) are for controls that have no configurable attributes; and
for controls that are not boolean controls and therefore cannot be en-
abled or disabled.

RETURN VALUES
SUCCESS allocates the ctrls field of the xkb parameter,
initializes all fields to zero
the ctrls field is not NULL
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the
server or an argument has correct type and range, but is
otherwise invalid
