XkbFreeNames(3) 						   XKB FUNCTIONS						   XkbFreeNames(3)

NAME

       XkbFreeNames - Free symbolic names structures

SYNOPSIS

       void XkbFreeNames (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, Bool free_map);

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  keyboard description for which names are to be freed

       - which
	      mask of names components to be freed

       - free_map
	      True => XkbNamesRec structure itself should be freed

DESCRIPTION

       Do not free symbolic names structures directly using free or XFree.  Use XkbFreeNames instead.

       The which parameter is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in Table 1.

       Xkb  provides  several  functions  that	work  with symbolic names. Each of these functions uses a mask to specify individual fields of the
       structures described above. These masks and their relationships to the fields in a keyboard description are shown in Table 1.

							physical symbols,
							types, and
