XkbAllocGeometry(3)              XKB FUNCTIONS             XkbAllocGeometry(3)

NAME
       XkbAllocGeometry - Allocate an entire geometry

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeometry (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 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.

       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 functions. 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
