XkbAllocGeomOverlays(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomOverlays(3)
NAME
XkbAllocGeomOverlays - Allocate overlays in a section
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomOverlays (XkbSectionPtr section, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
section
section for which overlays should be allocated
num_needed
number of new overlays 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.
XkbAllocGeomOverlays allocates num_needed overlays and adds them to the
section. No initialization of the overlays is done.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
