XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)                           XKB FUNCTIONS                          XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)



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

SYNOPSIS
       XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias ( geom, alias, real )
             XkbGeometryPtr geom;
             char * alias;
             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 asso-ciates associates
       ciates 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 struc-tures structures
       tures 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  num-ber number
       ber 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;
