XkbAddGeomProperty(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomProperty(3)NAME
XkbAddGeomProperty - Add one property to an existing keyboard geometry description
SYNOPSIS
XkbPropertyPtr XkbAddGeomProperty ( geom, name, value )
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.

XkbAllocGeomProps - Allocate geometry properties
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomProps ( geom, num_needed )
XkbGeometryPtr geom;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- geom _summary_
- num_needed
_summary_
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.
XkbAllocGeomProps allocates space for num_needed properties and adds them to the specified geometry geom. No initialization of the proper-
ties is done. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Geometry properties can be used to provide
hints to programs that display images of keyboards, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry
properties.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range

Hi,
i wanted to know how to pass the vaules for the geometry option for sxpm.
sxpm -g <?> filename.xpm
what do i put in the '?' part. :confused:
Thanks (1 Reply)
Hi,
I have a property file called "inspector.properties".
In this property file stands the following:
inspect=ON
Now I want to have a shell script that when you run it, changes the ON in OFF in this property file.
Is this possible with sed?
Can anybody help me with this?
Tnx very much. (5 Replies)
