XkbAllocGeomOverlays(3)		  XKB FUNCTIONS		 XkbAllocGeomOverlays(3)

NAME
     XkbAllocGeomOverlays - Allocate overlays in a section

SYNOPSIS
     Status XkbAllocGeomOverlays (XkbSectionPtr section, int num_needed);

ARGUMENTS
     section
	    section for which overlays should be allocated

     num_needed
	    number of new overlays required

DESCRIPTION
     Xkb  provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a
     keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify keyboard  geome-
     tries.  Note  that	 these	functions merely allocate space for the new ele-
     ment(s), and it is 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
