XkbAllocGeomDoodads(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomDoodads(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomDoodads - Allocate doodads that are global to a keyboard geometry
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomDoodads ( geom, num_needed )
XkbGeometryPtr geom;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry for which doodads should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new doodads 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.
XkbAllocGeomDoodads allocates num_needed doodads and adds them to the specified geometry geom. No initialization of the doodads is done.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range

To free geometry sections, use XkbFreeGeomSections.

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
