XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3)
NAME
XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
geom geometry for which key aliases should be allocated
num_needed
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 keyboard
geometries. Note that these functions 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 para-
meter is not as expected.
XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases allocates space for num_needed 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
