xkbgetgeometry

XkbGetGeometry(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS						 XkbGetGeometry(3)

NAME

       XkbGetGeometry - Loads a keyboard geometry if you already have the keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetGeometry (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to the X server

       - xkb  keyboard description that contains the ID for the keyboard and into which the geometry should be loaded

DESCRIPTION

       You  can  load  a keyboard geometry as part of the keyboard description returned by XkbGetKeyboard.  However, if a keyboard description has
       been previously loaded, you can instead obtain the geometry by calling the XkbGetGeometry.  In this case, the geometry returned is the  one
       associated with the keyboard whose device ID is contained in the keyboard description.

       XkbGetGeometry can return BadValue, BadImplementation, BadName, BadAlloc, or BadLength errors or Success if it succeeds.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadImplementation
		      Invalid reply from server

       BadLength      The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments

       BadName	      A font or color of the specified name does not exist

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
