XkbAllocGeomColors(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomColors(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomColors - Allocate geometry colors
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomColors ( geom, num_needed )
XkbGeometryPtr geom;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry for which colors should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new colors 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.
XkbAllocGeomColors allocates space for num_needed colors and adds them to the specified geometry geom. A color name is a string whose
interpretation is not specified by Xkb. All other geometry data structures refer to colors using their indices in this global list or
pointers to colors in this list.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range

XkbAllocGeomShapes - Allocate space for an arbitrary number of geometry shapes
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomShapes ( geom, num_needed )
XkbGeometryPtr geom;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry for which shapes should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new shapes required

XkbAllocGeomShapes allocates space for num_needed shapes in the specified geometry geom. The shapes are not initialized.
To free geometry shapes, use XkbFreeGeomShapes.

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
