+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard
+geometry. In each case the
+.I num_ *
+fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do
+not change
+.I 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
+.I 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.
+
+.I XkbAddGeomKeyAlias
+adds one key alias with the value
+.I alias
+to the geometry
+.I geom,
+and associates it with the key whose real name is
+.I real. XkbAddGeomKeyAlias
+returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate
+space for the alias. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of aliases, use
+the
+.I XkbAllocGeomKeyAliases
+function.
