NAME

       XkbAllocControls - Allocates an XkbControlsRec structure in the XkbDescRec

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocControls (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which);

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  Xkb description in which to allocate ctrls rec

       - which
              mask of components of ctrls to allocate

DESCRIPTION

       The  need  to  allocate an XkbControlsRec structure seldom arises; Xkb creates one when an
       application calls XkbGetControls or a related function. For those situations  where  there
       is  not  an  XkbControlsRec structure allocated in the XkbDescRec, allocate one by calling
       XkbAllocControls.

       XkbAllocControls allocates the ctrls field of the xkb parameter, initializes all fields to
       zero, and returns Success. If the ctrls field is not NULL, XkbAllocControls simply returns
       Success. If xkb is NULL, XkbAllocControls reports a BadMatch error.  If  the  ctrls  field
       could not be allocated, it reports a BadAlloc error.

       The  which mask specifies the individual fields of the ctrls structure to be allocated and
       can contain any of the valid masks defined in Table  1.   (SHOULD  THIS  COMMENT  BE  LEFT
       IN????)   Because  none  of the currently existing controls have any structures associated
       with them, which is currently of little practical value in this call.

       Table 1 shows the actual values for the individual mask bits used to select  controls  for
       modification and to enable and disable the control. Note that the same mask bit is used to
       specify general modifications to the parameters used to configure the control (which), and
       to  enable and disable the control (enabled_ctrls). The anomalies in the table (no "ok" in
       column) are for controls that have no configurable attributes; and for controls  that  are
       not boolean controls and therefore cannot be enabled or disabled.

RETURN VALUES

       SUCCESS        allocates  the  ctrls field of the xkb parameter, initializes all fields to
                      zero

                    the ctrls field is not NULL

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadMatch       A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an  argument
                      has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
