XkbAllocGeometry(3)		  XKB FUNCTIONS 	     XkbAllocGeometry(3)

NAME
     XkbAllocGeometry - Allocate an entire geometry

SYNOPSIS
     Status XkbAllocGeometry (XkbDescPtr xkb, XkbGeometrySizesPtr sizes);

ARGUMENTS
     xkb    keyboard description for which geometry is to be allocated

     sizes  initial sizes for all geometry components

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.

     XkbAllocGeometry  allocates a keyboard geometry and adds it to the keyboard
     description specified by xkb.  The keyboard description should be	obtained
     via  the  XkbGetKeyboard or XkbAllocKeyboard functions. The sizes parameter
     specifies the number of elements to be reserved for  the  subcomponents  of
     the  keyboard geometry and can be zero or more. These subcomponents include
     the properties, colors, shapes, sections, and doodads.

     To free an entire geometry, use XkbFreeGeometry.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadAlloc	    Unable to allocate storage

     BadValue	    An argument is out of range
