XkbGetGeometry(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS						 XkbGetGeometry(3)

NAME

       XkbGetGeometry - Loads a keyboard geometry if you already have the keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbGetGeometry ( dpy, xkb )
	     Display * dpy;
	     XkbDescPtr xkb;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to the X server

       - xkb  keyboard description that contains the ID for the keyboard and into which the geometry should be loaded

DESCRIPTION

       You  can  load  a keyboard geometry as part of the keyboard description returned by XkbGetKeyboard.  However, if a keyboard description has
       been previously loaded, you can instead obtain the geometry by calling the XkbGetGeometry.  In this case, the geometry returned is the  one
       associated with the keyboard whose device ID is contained in the keyboard description.

       XkbGetGeometry can return BadValue, BadImplementation, BadName, BadAlloc, or BadLength errors or Success if it succeeds.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadImplementation
		      Invalid reply from server

       BadLength      The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments

       BadName	      A font or color of the specified name does not exist

       BadValue       An argument is out of range

NAME

       XkbAllocGeometry - Allocate an entire geometry

SYNOPSIS

       Status XkbAllocGeometry (XkbDescPtr xkb, XkbGeometrySizesPtr sizes);

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  keyboard description for which geometry is to be allocated

       - sizes
	      initial sizes for all geometry components

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.

       XkbAllocGeometry  allocates  a keyboard geometry and adds it to the keyboard description specified by xkb.  The keyboard description should
       be obtained via the XkbGetKeyboard or XkbAllocKeyboard functions. The sizes parameter specifies the number of elements to be  reserved  for
       the  subcomponents  of the keyboard geometry and can be zero or more. These subcomponents include the properties, colors, shapes, sections,
       and doodads.

       To free an entire geometry, use XkbFreeGeometry.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
