XkbAllocGeomPoints(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomPoints(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomPoints - Allocate points in an outline
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomPoints ( outline, num_needed )
XkbOutlinePtr outline;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- outline
outline for which points should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new points required
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify key-
board 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.
XkbAllocGeomPoints allocates space for num_needed points in the specified outline. The points are not initialized.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range

XkbAllocGeomOutlines - Allocate space for an arbitrary number of outlines to a shape
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomOutlines ( shape, num_needed )
XkbShapePtr shape;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- shape
shape for which outlines should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new outlines required

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
