XkbAllocGeomOverlays(3)

okay bestie, welcome to the XkbAllocGeomOverlays(3) page — manual name: XKB FUNCTIONS ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• XkbAllocGeomOverlays — Allocate overlays in a section 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Status XkbAllocGeomOverlays (XkbSectionPtr section, int num_needed);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• section — the section you want overlays allocated for 🫶
• num_needed — how many new overlays you need 👑

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify keyboard geometries. 🌈

Big heads-up: these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it’s 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. ⭐

XkbAllocGeomOverlays allocates num_needed overlays and adds them to the section. No initialization of the overlays is done. 🫶

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

• BadAlloc — Unable to allocate storage
• BadValue — An argument is out of range
