XkbAllocGeomSections(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomSections(3)

NAME

XkbAllocGeomSections - Allocate geometry sections

SYNOPSIS

Status XkbAllocGeomSections (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS

geom geometry for which sections should be allocated

num_needed
number of new sections 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.

XkbAllocGeomSections allocates num_needed sections and adds them to
the geometry geom. No initialization of the sections is done.

To free geometry sections, use XkbFreeGeomSections.

DIAGNOSTICS

BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage

BadValue An argument is out of range
