If I knew the names of the properties in the file I could do that. But sample.properties is a simplified example. I actually have over 100 properties in the file I need to process, and I'd rather do it in a loop than hard-code all of my property names.

xkbaddgeomproperty
XkbAddGeomProperty(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomProperty(3)
NAME
XkbAddGeomProperty - Add one property to an existing keyboard geometry description
SYNOPSIS
XkbPropertyPtr XkbAddGeomProperty (XkbGeometryPtr geom, char *name, char *value);
ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry to be updated
- name name of the new property
- value
value for the new property
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.
XkbAddGeomProperty adds one property with the specified name and value to the keyboard geometry specified by geom. XkbAddGeomProperty
returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the property. To allocate space for an arbitrary
number of properties, use the XkbAllocGeomProps function.
STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbProperty {
char * name; /* property name */
char * value; /* property value */
} XkbPropertyRec,*XkbPropertyPtr;
