XkbResizeKeyType(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbResizeKeyType(3)
NAME
XkbResizeKeyType - Change the number of levels in a key type
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbResizeKeyType (XkbDescPtr xkb, int type_ndx, int map_count,
Bool want_preserve, int new_num_lvls);
ARGUMENTS
xkb keyboard description containing client map to update
type_ndx
index in xkb->map->types of type to change
map_count
total # of map entries needed for the type
want_preserve
True => list of preserved modifiers is necessary
new_num_lvls
new max # of levels for type
DESCRIPTION
XkbResizeKeyType changes the type specified by
xkb->map->types[type_ndx], and reallocates the symbols and actions
bound to all keys that use the type, if necessary. XkbResizeKeyType
updates only the local copy of the types in xkb; to update the server's
copy for the physical device, use XkbSetMap or XkbChangeMap after call-
ing XkbResizeKeyType.
The map_count parameter specifies the total number of map entries
needed for the type, and can be zero or greater. If map_count is zero,
XkbResizeKeyType frees the existing map and preserve entries for the
type if they exist and sets them to NULL.
The want_preserve parameter specifies whether a preserve list for the
key should be created. If want_preserve is True, the preserve list with
map_count entries is allocated or reallocated if it already exists.
Otherwise, if want_preserve is False, the preserve field is freed if
necessary and set to NULL.
The new_num_lvls parameter specifies the new maximum number of shift
levels for the type and is used to calculate and resize the symbols and
actions bound to all keys that use the type.
If type_ndx does not specify a legal type, new_num_lvls is less than 1,
or the map_count is less than zero, XkbResizeKeyType returns BadValue.
If XkbResizeKeyType encounters any problems with allocation, it returns
BadAlloc. Otherwise, it returns Success.
RETURN VALUES
Success The XkbResizeKeyType function returns Success if
type_ndx specifies a legal type, new_num_lvls is greater
than zero and map_count is positive.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
