XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)

NAME

       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an existing keyboard geometry description

SYNOPSIS

       XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, char *alias, char *real);

ARGUMENTS

       - geom geometry to be updated

       - alias
	      alias to be added

       - real real name to be bound to the new alias

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding
       structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these  functions  fill
       in  the	values	of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's
       elements.

       The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties.  A geometry property associates  an  arbitrary  string  with	an
       equally	arbitrary  name.  Programs  that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by
       Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias adds one key alias with the value alias to the geometry geom, and associates it with the key whose real  name  is  real.
       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias  returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the alias. To allocate space
       for an arbitrary number of aliases, use the XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases function.

STRUCTURES

	   typedef struct {
	       char	       real[XkbKeyNameLength];	 /* this key name must be in the keys array */
	       char	       alias[XkbKeyNameLength];  /* symbolic key name as alias for the key */
	   } XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
