XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)

NAME

XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an existing keyboard
geometry description

SYNOPSIS

XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, _Xconst char
*alias, _Xconst char *real);

ARGUMENTS

geom geometry to be updated

alias alias to be added

real real name to be bound to the new alias

DESCRIPTION

Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level
keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the
corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not
change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these
functions fill in the values of the element's structure from the
arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to
fill the structure's elements.

The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry
properties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with
an equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards
can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by
Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

XkbAddGeomKeyAlias adds one key alias with the value alias to the
geometry geom, and associates it with the key whose real name is
real. XkbAddGeomKeyAlias returns NULL if any of the parameters is
empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the alias. To
allocate space for an arbitrary number of aliases, use the
XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases function.

STRUCTURES

typedef struct {
char real[XkbKeyNameLength]; /* this key name must be in the keys array */
char alias[XkbKeyNameLength]; /* symbolic key name as alias for the key */
} XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
