NAME

       XkbAllocServerMap - Allocate and initialize an empty server map description record

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocServerMap (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, unsigned int count_acts);

ARGUMENTS

       xkb    keyboard description in which to allocate server map

       which  mask selecting map components to allocate

       count_acts
              value of num_acts field in map to be allocated

DESCRIPTION

       XkbAllocServerMap  allocates  and  initializes  an  empty  server map in the server field of the keyboard
       description specified by xkb.  The which parameter specifies the particular components of the server  map
       structure to allocate, as specified in Table 1.

       XkbExplicitComponentsMask   The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                                   of  the  xkb  parameter  are   used   to
                                   allocate   the  explicit  field  of  the
                                   server map.

       XkbKeyActionsMask           The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                                   of   the   xkb  parameter  are  used  to
                                   allocate  the  key_acts  field  of   the
                                   server  map. The count_acts parameter is
                                   used to allocate the acts field  of  the
                                   server map.

       XkbKeyBehaviorsMask         The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                                   of  the  xkb  parameter  are   used   to
                                   allocate  the  behaviors  field  of  the
                                   server map.

       XkbVirtualModMapMask        The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
                                   of   the   xkb  parameter  are  used  to
                                   allocate the vmodmap field of the server
                                   map.

       If  the  server  map  of the keyboard description is not NULL and any fields are already allocated in the
       server map, XkbAllocServerMap does not overwrite the existing values. The only exception is with the acts
       array.  If  the  count_acts  parameter  is  greater  than  the  current num_acts field of the server map,
       XkbAllocServerMap resizes the acts array and resets the num_acts field accordingly.

       If XkbAllocServerMap is successful, it returns Success. Otherwise,  it  can  return  either  BadMatch  or
       BadAlloc errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadMatch       A  compatible  version  of  Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has correct
                      type and range, but is otherwise invalid

       BadValue       An argument is out of range

NOTES

       The min_key_code and max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter must be  legal  values.  If  they  are  not
       valid, XkbAllocServerMap returns BadValue.
