NAME

       XkbAllocKeyboard -  Creates a keyboard description from scratch

SYNOPSIS

       XkbDescRec XkbAllocKeyboard (void);

DESCRIPTION

       Applications  seldom  need  to  directly  allocate a keyboard description; calling XkbGetKeyboard usually
       suffices.  In  the  event  you  need  to  create  a  keyboard  description  from  scratch,  however,  use
       XkbAllocKeyboard rather than directly calling malloc.

       If XkbAllocKeyboard fails to allocate the keyboard description, it returns NULL.  Otherwise, it returns a
       pointer to an empty keyboard description structure. The device_spec field will have been  initialized  to
       XkbUseCoreKbd. You may then either fill in the structure components or use Xkb functions to obtain values
       for the structure components from a keyboard device.
