XkbAllocGeomPoints(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomPoints(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomPoints - Allocate points in an outline
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomPoints ( outline, num_needed )
XkbOutlinePtr outline;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- outline
outline for which points should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new points 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.
XkbAllocGeomPoints allocates space for num_needed points in the specified outline. The points are not initialized.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range

XkbFreeGeomPoints(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbFreeGeomPoints(3)NAME
XkbFreeGeomPoints - Free points in a outline
SYNOPSIS
void XkbFreeGeomPoints (XkbOutlinePtr outline, int first, int count, Bool free_all);
ARGUMENTS
- outline
outline in which points should be freed
- first
first point to be freed
- count
number of points to be freed
- free_all
True => all points are freed

space, or BadValue if a parameter is not as expected.
If free_all is True, all points are freed regardless of the value of >i first and count. Otherwise, the number of points specified by
count are freed, beginning with the point specified by first in the specified outline.
RETURN VALUES
Success The XkbFreeGeomPoints function returns Success when there are no allocation or argument errors.

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
