XkbAllocGeometry(3)                             XKB FUNCTIONS                            XkbAllocGeometry(3)



NAME
       XkbAllocGeometry - Allocate an entire geometry

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeometry ( xkb, sizes )
             XkbDescPtr xkb;
             XkbGeometrySizesPtr sizes;

ARGUMENTS
       - xkb  keyboard description for which geometry is to be allocated

       - sizes
              initial sizes for all geometry components

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.

       XkbAllocGeometry  allocates  a keyboard geometry and adds it to the keyboard description specified by
       xkb.  The keyboard description should be obtained via the XkbGetKeyboard  or  XkbAllocKeyboard  func-tions. functions.
       tions.  The  sizes parameter specifies the number of elements to be reserved for the subcomponents of
       the keyboard geometry and can be zero or more. These subcomponents include  the  properties,  colors,
       shapes, sections, and doodads.

       To free an entire geometry, use XkbFreeGeometry.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
