XkbAllocCompatMap(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					      XkbAllocCompatMap(3)

NAME

       XkbAllocCompatMap - Allocate a new compatibility map if you do not already have one available

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocCompatMap ( xkb, which, num_si )
	     XkbDescPtr xkb;
	     unsigned int which;
	     unsigned int num_si;

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  keyboard description in which to allocate compat map

       - which
	      mask of compatibility map components to allocate

       - num_si
	      number of symbol interpretations to allocate

DESCRIPTION

       xkb  specifies the keyboard description for which compatibility maps are to be allocated. The compatibility map is the compat field in this
       structure.

       which specifies the compatibility map components to be allocated (see XkbGetCompatMap).	which is an inclusive OR of the bits shown in  Ta-
       ble 1.

		 Table 1 Compatibility Map Component Masks
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       Mask		    Value    Affecting
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       XkbSymInterpMask     (1<<0)   Symbol interpretations
       XkbGroupCompatMask   (1<<1)   Group maps
       XkbAllCompatMask     (0x3)    All compatibility map components

       num_si specifies the total number of entries to allocate in the symbol interpretation vector (xkb.compat.sym_interpret).

       XkbAllocCompatMap returns Success if successful, BadMatch if xkb is NULL, or BadAlloc if errors are encountered when attempting to allocate
       storage.

STRUCTURES

	   typedef struct {
	       KeySym		 sym;	       /* keysym of interest or NULL */
	       unsigned char	 flags;        /* XkbSI_AutoRepeat, XkbSI_LockingKey */
	       unsigned char	 match;        /* specifies how mods is interpreted */
	       unsigned char	 mods;	       /* modifier bits, correspond to eight real modifiers */
	       unsigned char	 virtual_mod;  /* 1 modifier to add to key virtual mod map */
	       XkbAnyAction	 act;	       /* action to bind to symbol position on key */
	   } XkbSymInterpretRec,*XkbSymInterpretPtr;

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

NOTES

       Note  that  symbol  interpretations  in	a compatibility map (the sym_interpret vector of XkbSymInterpretRec structures) are also allocated
       using this same function. To ensure that there is sufficient space in the symbol interpretation vector for entries to be added, use  XkbAl-
       locCompatMap specifying which as XkbSymInterpretMask and the number of free symbol interpretations needed in num_si.
