XkbAllocGeomProps(3)		  XKB FUNCTIONS 	    XkbAllocGeomProps(3)

NAME
     XkbAllocGeomProps - Allocate geometry properties

SYNOPSIS
     Status XkbAllocGeomProps (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS
     geom   geometry for which properties should be allocated

     num_needed
	    number of new properties 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.

     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  pro-
     grams  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
