XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads(3)
NAME
XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads - Allocate doodads that are specific to a
section
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads (XkbSectionPtr section, int
num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
section
section for which doodads should be allocated
num_needed
number of new doodads 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.
XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads allocates num_needed doodads and adds them to
the specified section. No initialization of the doodads is done.
To free geometry doodads, use XkbFreeGeomDoodads.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
