NAME

       XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS

       - geom geometry for which key aliases should be allocated

       - num_needed
              number of new key aliases 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.

       XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases  allocates  space  for  num_needed key aliases and adds them to the
       specified geometry geom.  A key alias is a pair of strings that  associates  an  alternate
       name for a key with the real name for that key.

       To free geometry key aliases, use XkbFreeGeomKeyAliases.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
