7       description

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

STRUCTURES

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