XkbAllocKeyboard(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocKeyboard(3)
NAME
XkbAllocKeyboard - Creates a keyboard description from scratch
SYNOPSIS
XkbDescRec XkbAllocKeyboard (void);
DESCRIPTION
Applications seldom need to directly allocate a keyboard description;
calling XkbGetKeyboard usually suffices. In the event you need to create
a keyboard description from scratch, however, use XkbAllocKeyboard
rather than directly calling malloc.
If XkbAllocKeyboard fails to allocate the keyboard description, it re-
turns NULL. Otherwise, it returns a pointer to an empty keyboard de-
scription structure. The device_spec field will have been initialized to
XkbUseCoreKbd. You may then either fill in the structure components or
use Xkb functions to obtain values for the structure components from a
keyboard device.
