XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3)

NAME

XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases

SYNOPSIS

Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS

geom geometry for which key aliases should be allocated

num_needed
number of new key aliases 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 parameter is not as expected.

XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases allocates space for num_needed key aliases and
adds them to the specified geometry geom. A key alias is a pair of
strings that associates an alternate name for a key with the real
name for that key.

To free geometry key aliases, use XkbFreeGeomKeyAliases.

DIAGNOSTICS

BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage

BadValue An argument is out of range
