XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads(3Xkb)                   XKBLIB                   XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads(3Xkb)



FUNCTION"

NAME
       XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads - Allocate doodads that are specific to a section

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads ( section, num_needed )
             XkbSectionPtr section;
             int num_needed;

ARGUMENTS
       - section
              section for which doodads should be allocated

       - num_needed
              number of new doodads 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  fail-ure, failure,
       ure,  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.

       XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads  allocates  num_needed doodads and adds them to the specified section.  No
       initialization of the doodads is done.

       To free geometry doodads, use XkbFreeGeomDoodads.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
