NAME
XkbAllocGeomOutlines - Allocate space for an arbitrary number of outlines to a shape
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomOutlines (XkbShapePtr shape, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
shape shape for which outlines should be allocated
num_needed
number of new outlines 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.
XkbAllocGeomOutlines allocates space for num_needed outlines in the specified shape. The outlines are
not initialized.
To free geometry outlines, use XkbFreeGeomOutlines.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
