XkbAllocGeomShapes(3)     XKB FUNCTIONS     XkbAllocGeomShapes(3)



NAME
       XkbAllocGeomShapes  - Allocate space for an arbitrary num-
       ber of geometry shapes

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeomShapes ( geom, num_needed )
             XkbGeometryPtr geom;
             int num_needed;

ARGUMENTS
       - geom geometry for which shapes should be allocated

       - num_needed
              number of new shapes 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.

       XkbAllocGeomShapes allocates space for  num_needed  shapes
       in  the  specified geometry geom.  The shapes are not ini-
       tialized.

       To free geometry shapes, use XkbFreeGeomShapes.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
