XkbAllocGeomRows(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomRows(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomRows - Allocate rows in a section
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomRows ( section, num_needed )
XkbSectionPtr section;
int num_needed;
ARGUMENTS
- section
section for which rows should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new rows 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.
XkbAllocGeomRows allocates num_needed rows and adds them to the section. No initialization of the rows is done.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range

XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads(3)NAME
XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads - Allocate doodads that are specific to a section
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads (XkbSectionPtr section, int num_needed);
ARGUMENTS
- section
section for which doodads should be allocated
- num_needed
number of new doodads required

XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads allocates num_needed doodads and adds them to the specified section. No initialization of the doodads is done.
To free geometry doodads, use XkbFreeGeomDoodads.

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
