NAME

       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an existing keyboard geometry description

SYNOPSIS

       XkbKeyAliasPtr  XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, _Xconst char *alias, _Xconst char
              *real);

ARGUMENTS

       - geom geometry to be updated

       - alias
              alias to be added

       - real real name to be bound to the new alias

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry.  In
       each  case  the  num_  *  fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These
       functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in  the  array.  Some  of  these
       functions  fill  in  the  values  of the element's structure from the arguments. For other
       functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.

       The top-level geometry description includes a list of  geometry  properties.   A  geometry
       property  associates  an  arbitrary  string  with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that
       display images of keyboards can use  geometry  properties  as  hints,  but  they  are  not
       interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias  adds  one  key  alias  with  the value alias to the geometry geom, and
       associates it with the key whose real name is real. XkbAddGeomKeyAlias returns NULL if any
       of  the  parameters  is  empty  or  if it was not able to allocate space for the alias. To
       allocate space  for  an  arbitrary  number  of  aliases,  use  the  XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases
       function.

STRUCTURES

           typedef struct {
               char            real[XkbKeyNameLength];   /* this key name must be in the keys array */
               char            alias[XkbKeyNameLength];  /* symbolic key name as alias for the key */
           } XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
