XkbAllocNames(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAllocNames(3)
NAME XkbAllocNames - Allocate symbolic names structures
SYNOPSIS Status XkbAllocNames (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, int num_rg, int num_key_aliases);
ARGUMENTS xkb keyboard description for which names are to be allocated
which mask of names to be allocated
num_rg total number of radio group names needed
num_key_aliases total number of key aliases needed
DESCRIPTION Most applications do not need to directly allocate symbolic names structures. Do not allocate a names structure directly using malloc or Xmalloc if your application changes the number of key aliases or radio groups or constructs a symbolic names structure without loading the necessary components from the X server. Instead use XkbAllocNames.
XkbAllocNames can return BadAlloc, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. The which parameter is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in Table 1.

Do not free symbolic names structures directly using free or XFree. otherwise invalid
BadValue An argument is out of range
