XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3)	  XKB FUNCTIONS        XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3)

NAME
     XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases

SYNOPSIS
     Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS
     geom   geometry for which key aliases should be allocated

     num_needed
	    number of new key aliases 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  geome-
     tries.   Note  that  these functions merely allocate space for the new ele-
     ment(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.

     XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases  allocates space for num_needed key aliases and adds
     them to the specified geometry geom.  A key alias is a pair of strings that
     associates an alternate name for a key with the real name for that key.

     To free geometry key aliases, use XkbFreeGeomKeyAliases.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAlloc	    Unable to allocate storage

     BadValue	    An argument is out of range
