NAME¶
XkbAllocKeyboard - Creates a keyboard description from scratch
SYNOPSIS¶
XkbDescRec XkbAllocKeyboard (void);
DESCRIPTION¶
Applications seldom need to directly allocate a keyboard description; calling
XkbGetKeyboard usually suffices. In the event you need to create a
keyboard description from scratch, however, use
XkbAllocKeyboard rather
than directly calling
malloc.
If
XkbAllocKeyboard fails to allocate the keyboard description, it
returns NULL. Otherwise, it returns a pointer to an empty keyboard description
structure. The
device_spec field will have been initialized to
XkbUseCoreKbd. You may then either fill in the structure components or use Xkb
functions to obtain values for the structure components from a keyboard
device.
