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 X Version 11 libX11 1.2.1 XkbAllocGeomPoints(3)

NAME
XkbAllocGeomShapes - Allocate space for an arbitrary number of geometry shapes SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomShapes ( geom, num_needed ) XkbGeometryPtr geom; int num_needed; ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry for which shapes should be allocated - num_needed number of new shapes required DESCRIPTION

Shopt -s histappend

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 shopt -s histappend (3 Replies)
