NAME

       XkbAllocGeometry - Allocate an entire geometry

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocGeometry (XkbDescPtr xkb, XkbGeometrySizesPtr sizes);

ARGUMENTS

       xkb    keyboard description for which geometry is to be allocated

       sizes  initial sizes for all geometry components

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.

       XkbAllocGeometry allocates a keyboard geometry and adds it to the keyboard description specified by  xkb.
       The  keyboard  description  should  be obtained via the XkbGetKeyboard or XkbAllocKeyboard functions. The
       sizes parameter specifies the number of elements to be reserved for the  subcomponents  of  the  keyboard
       geometry  and  can be zero or more. These subcomponents include the properties, colors, shapes, sections,
       and doodads.

       To free an entire geometry, use XkbFreeGeometry.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
