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  XkbAl-locKeyboard XkbAllocKeyboard
       locKeyboard 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 func-tions functions
       tions to obtain values for the structure components from a keyboard device.
