XkbAllocGeomColors(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbAllocGeomColors(3)

NAME
       XkbAllocGeomColors - Allocate geometry colors

SYNOPSIS
       Status XkbAllocGeomColors (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS
       - geom geometry for which colors should be allocated

       - num_needed
	      number of new colors 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.

       XkbAllocGeomColors  allocates  space  for  num_needed  colors and adds them to the specified geometry geom.  A color name is a string whose
       interpretation is not specified by Xkb. All other geometry data structures refer to colors using their  indices	in  this  global  list	or
       pointers to colors in this list.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
