NAME
XkbAllocGeomProps - Allocate geometry properties
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomProps (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
- geom _summary_
- num_needed
_summary_
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.
XkbAllocGeomProps allocates space for num_needed properties and adds
them to the specified geometry geom. No initialization of the
properties is done. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string
with an equally arbitrary name. Geometry properties can be used to
provide hints to programs that display images of keyboards, but they
are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to
geometry properties.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
