XkbFindOverlayForKey(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbFindOverlayForKey(3)NAME
XkbFindOverlayForKey - Find the alternate name by using the primary name for a key that is part of an overlay
SYNOPSIS
char * XkbFindOverlayForKey ( geom, section, under )
XkbGeometryPtr geom;
XkbSectionPtr section;
char * under;
ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry that contains the section
- section
section to be searched for matching keys
- under
primary name of the key to be considered
DESCRIPTION
Keys that can generate multiple keycodes may be associated with multiple names. Such keys have a primary name and an alternate name.
XkbFindOverlayForKey uses the primary name of the key, under, to look up the alternate name, which it returns.

XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases - Allocate geometry key aliases
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases (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

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
