XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomKeyAlias(3)

NAME
XkbAddGeomKeyAlias - Add one key alias to an existing keyboard geometry description

SYNOPSIS
XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, char *alias, char *real);

ARGUMENTS
- geom geometry to be updated

- alias
alias to be added

- real real name to be bound to the new alias

DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In
each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These
functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these
functions fill in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other
functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.

The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties. A geometry
property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary name. Programs that dis-
play images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not inter-
preted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.

XkbAddGeomKeyAlias adds one key alias with the value alias to the geometry geom, and asso-
ciates it with the key whose real name is real. XkbAddGeomKeyAlias returns NULL if any of
the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the alias. To allocate
space for an arbitrary number of aliases, use the XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases function.

STRUCTURES
typedef struct {
char real[XkbKeyNameLength]; /* this key name must be in the keys array */
char alias[XkbKeyNameLength]; /* symbolic key name as alias for the key */
} XkbKeyAliasRec,*XkbKeyAliasPtr;
