XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)		  XKB FUNCTIONS 	   XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)

NAME
     XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an existing keyboard geometry de-
     scription

SYNOPSIS
     XkbKeyAliasPtr   XkbAddGeomKeyAlias   (XkbGeometryPtr  geom,  _Xconst  char
	    *alias, _Xconst char *real);

ARGUMENTS
     geom   geometry to be updated

     alias  alias to be added

     real   real name to be bound to the new alias

DESCRIPTION
     Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to  the  top-level  key-
     board  geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding struc-
     ture 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 arbi-
     trary 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.

     XkbAddGeomKeyAlias  adds one key alias with the value alias to the geometry
     geom, and associates it with the key whose real  name  is	real.  XkbAddGe-
     omKeyAlias  returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not
     able to allocate space for the alias. To allocate space  for  an  arbitrary
     number of aliases, use the XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases function.

STRUCTURES
	 typedef struct {
	     char	     real[XkbKeyNameLength];   /* this key name must be in the keys array */
	     char	     alias[XkbKeyNameLength];  /* symbolic key name as alias for the key */
	 } XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
