NAME

6       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an existing keyboard geometry
7       description
8

SYNOPSIS

10       XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr  geom,  char  *alias,
11              char *real);
12

ARGUMENTS

14       - geom geometry to be updated
15
16       - alias
17              alias to be added
18
19       - real real name to be bound to the new alias
20

DESCRIPTION

22       Xkb  provides  functions  to  add a single new element to the top-level
23       keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the  corresponding
24       structure  is  incremented  by  1.  These  functions do not change sz_*
25       unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill
26       in  the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other
27       functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's  ele‐
28       ments.
29
30       The  top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry proper‐
31       ties.  A geometry property  associates  an  arbitrary  string  with  an
32       equally  arbitrary  name. Programs that display images of keyboards can
33       use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by  Xkb.
34       No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.
35
36       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias adds one key alias with the value alias to the geom‐
37       etry geom, and associates it with the key  whose  real  name  is  real.
38       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if
39       it was not able to allocate space for the alias. To allocate space  for
40       an  arbitrary  number  of aliases, use the XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases func‐
41       tion.

45               char            real[XkbKeyNameLength];   /∗ this key name must be in the keys array */
46               char            alias[XkbKeyNameLength];  /∗ symbolic key name as alias for the key */
47           } XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
