XkbAllocGeomProps(3)             XKB FUNCTIONS            XkbAllocGeomProps(3)

NAME
       XkbAllocGeomProps - Allocate geometry properties

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeomProps (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS
       geom   geometry for which properties should be allocated

       num_needed
              number of new properties 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 failure, 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.

       XkbAllocGeomProps allocates space for num_needed properties and adds
       them to the specified geometry geom.  No initialization of the
       properties is done. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string
       with an equally arbitrary name. Geometry properties can be used to
       provide hints to programs that display images of keyboards, but they
       are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to
       geometry properties.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
