XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)            XKB FUNCTIONS           XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)

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

SYNOPSIS
       XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, _Xconst char
              *alias, _Xconst 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 associates 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 structures 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 number 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;
