NAME¶
XkbAddGeomProperty - Add one property to an existing keyboard geometry
description
SYNOPSIS¶
XkbPropertyPtr XkbAddGeomProperty (XkbGeometryPtr
geom, char *name, char
*value);
ARGUMENTS¶
- - geom
- geometry to be updated
- - name
- name of the new property
- - value
- value for the new property
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.
XkbAddGeomProperty adds one property with the specified
name and
value to the keyboard geometry specified by
geom.
XkbAddGeomProperty returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it
was not able to allocate space for the property. To allocate space for an
arbitrary number of properties, use the
XkbAllocGeomProps function.
STRUCTURES¶
typedef struct _XkbProperty {
char * name; /∗ property name */
char * value; /∗ property value */
} XkbPropertyRec,*XkbPropertyPtr;
