NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       XkbKeyAliasPtr XkbAddGeomKeyAlias (XkbGeometryPtr geom, _Xconst char *alias, _Xconst 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 display images of keyboards
       can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other  geometry  structures
       refer to geometry properties.

       XkbAddGeomKeyAlias  adds  one key alias with the value alias to the geometry geom, and associates 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;
