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;

NAME

       XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases ( geom, num_needed )
	     XkbGeometryPtr geom;
	     int num_needed;

ARGUMENTS

       - geom geometry for which key aliases should be allocated

       - num_needed
	      number of new key aliases required

DESCRIPTION

       Xkb  provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify key-
       board geometries.  Note that these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it is up	to  you  to  fill  in  the  values
       explicitly  in  your  code. These allocation functions increase sz_* but never touch num_* (unless there is an allocation failure, in which
       case they reset both sz_* and num_* to zero). These functions return Success if they succeed, BadAlloc if they are  not	able  to  allocate
       space, or BadValue if a parameter is not as expected.

       XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases  allocates  space for num_needed key aliases and adds them to the specified geometry geom.  A key alias is a pair of
       strings that associates an alternate name for a key with the real name for that key.

       To free geometry key aliases, use XkbFreeGeomKeyAliases.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
