NAME

       XkbAddGeomProperty  - Add one property to an existing keyboard geometry
       description

SYNOPSIS

       XkbPropertyPtr XkbAddGeomProperty  (XkbGeometryPtr  geom,  char  *name,
              char *value);

ARGUMENTS

       - geom geometry to be updated

       - name name of the new property

       - value
              value for the new property

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  provides  functions  to  add a single new element to the top-level
       keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the  corresponding
       structure  is  incremented  by  1.  These  functions do not change sz_*
       unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill
       in  the values of the element’s structure from the arguments. For other
       functions, you must explicitly  write  code  to  fill  the  structure’s
       elements.

       The   top-level  geometry  description  includes  a  list  of  geometry
       properties.  A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an
       equally  arbitrary  name. Programs that display images of keyboards can
       use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by  Xkb.
       No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

       XkbAddGeomProperty  adds one property with the specified name and value
       to the keyboard geometry specified by geom. XkbAddGeomProperty  returns
       NULL  if  any  of  the  parameters  is  empty  or if it was not able to
       allocate space for the property. To allocate  space  for  an  arbitrary
       number of properties, use the XkbAllocGeomProps function.

STRUCTURES

           typedef struct _XkbProperty {
               char *         name;       /∗ property name */
               char *         value;      /∗ property value */
           } XkbPropertyRec,*XkbPropertyPtr;
