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
