XkbAllocServerMap(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					      XkbAllocServerMap(3)

NAME

       XkbAllocServerMap - Allocate and initialize an empty server map description record

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocServerMap (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, unsigned int count_acts);

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  keyboard description in which to allocate server map

       - which
	      mask selecting map components to allocate

       - count_acts
	      value of num_acts field in map to be allocated

DESCRIPTION

       XkbAllocServerMap  allocates  and  initializes  an  empty server map in the server field of the keyboard description specified by xkb.  The
       which parameter specifies the particular components of the server map structure to allocate, as specified in Table 1.

			 Table 1 XkbAllocServerMap Masks
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       Mask			   Effect
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------
       XkbExplicitComponentsMask   The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
				   of  the  xkb parameter are used to allo-
				   cate the explicit field  of	the  server
				   map.

       XkbKeyActionsMask	   The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
				   of the xkb parameter are used  to  allo-
				   cate  the  key_acts	field of the server
				   map. The count_acts parameter is used to
				   allocate  the  acts	field of the server
				   map.

       XkbKeyBehaviorsMask	   The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
				   of  the  xkb parameter are used to allo-
				   cate the behaviors field of	the  server
				   map.

       XkbVirtualModMapMask	   The min_key_code and max_key_code fields
				   of the xkb parameter are used  to  allo-
				   cate  the  vmodmap  field  of the server
				   map.

       If the server map of the keyboard description is not NULL and any fields are already allocated in the server  map,  XkbAllocServerMap  does
       not  overwrite  the  existing  values.  The  only exception is with the acts array. If the count_acts parameter is greater than the current
       num_acts field of the server map, XkbAllocServerMap resizes the acts array and resets the num_acts field accordingly.

       If XkbAllocServerMap is successful, it returns Success. Otherwise, it can return either BadMatch or BadAlloc errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadMatch       A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has correct type  and	range,	but  is  otherwise
		      invalid

       BadValue       An argument is out of range

NOTES

       The  min_key_code  and max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter must be legal values. If they are not valid, XkbAllocServerMap returns Bad-
       Value.
