46 Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard
47 geometry. In each case the
49 fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do
52 unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the
53 values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you
54 must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.
56 The top-level geometry description includes a list of
57 .I geometry properties.
58 A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary
59 name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as
60 hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer
61 to geometry properties.
64 adds one property with the specified
68 to the keyboard geometry specified by
69 .I geom. XkbAddGeomProperty
70 returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate
71 space for the property. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of properties,
79 typedef struct _XkbProperty {
80 char * name; /\(** property name */
81 char * value; /\(** property value */
82 } XkbPropertyRec,*XkbPropertyPtr;
