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
returns NULL. Otherwise, it returns a pointer to an empty keyboard
description 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.
