XkbAllocKeyboard(3)       XKB FUNCTIONS       XkbAllocKeyboard(3)



NAME
       XkbAllocKeyboard  -   Creates  a keyboard description from
       scratch

SYNOPSIS
       XkbDescRec XkbAllocKeyboard ( void )

DESCRIPTION
       Applications seldom need to directly allocate  a  keyboard
       description;  calling  XkbGetKeyboard usually suffices. In
       the event you need to create a keyboard  description  from
       scratch,   however,   use   XkbAllocKeyboard  rather  than
       directly calling malloc.

       If  XkbAllocKeyboard  fails  to  allocate   the   keyboard
       description,  it  returns  NULL.   Otherwise, it returns a
       pointer to an empty keyboard  description  structure.  The
       device_spec  field  will have been initialized to XkbUseC-
       oreKbd. You may then either fill in the  structure  compo-
       nents or use Xkb functions to obtain values for the struc-
       ture components from a keyboard device.
