XkbAllocGeomProps(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomProps(3)
NAME
XkbAllocGeomProps - Allocate geometry properties
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomProps (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
- geom _summary_
- num_needed
_summary_
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents
of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify key-
board geometries. Note that these functions merely allocate space for
the new element(s), and it is up to you to fill in the values explic-
itly 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 Bad-
Value if a parameter is not as expected.
XkbAllocGeomProps allocates space for num_needed properties and adds
them to the specified geometry geom. No initialization of the proper-
ties is done. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with
an equally arbitrary name. Geometry properties can be used to provide
hints to programs that display images of keyboards, but they are not
interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry
properties.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
