+.TP
+.I \- type_count
+value of num_types field in map to be allocated
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Calling
+.I XkbGetMap
+should be sufficient for most applications to get client and server maps. As a
+result, most applications do not need to directly allocate client and server
+maps.
+
+If you change the number of key types or construct map components without
+loading the necessary components from the X server, do not allocate any map
+components directly using
+.I malloc
+or
+.I Xmalloc.
+Instead, use the Xkb allocators,
+.I XkbAllocClientMap,
+and
+.I XkbAllocServerMap.
+
+Similarly, use the Xkb destructors,
+.I XkbFreeClientMap,
+and
+.I XkbFreeServerMap
+instead of
+.I free
+or
+.I Xfree.
+
+.I XkbAllocClientMap
+allocates and initializes an empty client map in the
+.I map
+field of the keyboard description specified by
+.I xkb.
+The
+.I which
+parameter specifies the particular components of the client map structure to
+allocate and is a mask composed by a bitwise inclusive OR of one or more of the
+masks shown in Table 1.

+Table 1 XkbAllocClientMap Masks
+_
+Mask Effect
+_
+XkbKeyTypesMask T{
+The type_count field specifies the number of entries to preallocate for the
+types field of the client map. If the type_count field is less than
+XkbNumRequiredTypes returns BadValue.
+T}
+.sp
+XkbKeySymsMask T{
+The min_key_code and max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter are used to
+allocate the syms and key_sym_map fields of the client map. The fields are
+allocated to contain the maximum number of entries necessary for max_key_code -
+min_key_code + 1 keys.
+T}
+.sp
+XkbModifierMapMask T{
+The min_key_code and max_key_code fields of the xkb parameter are used to
+allocate the modmap field of the client map. The field is allocated to contain
+the maximum number of entries necessary for max_key_code - min_key_code + 1
+keys.
+T}
+.TE
+
+NOTE: The
+.I min_key_code
+and
+.I max_key_code
+fields of the
+.I xkb
+parameter must be legal values if the XkbKeySymsMask or XkbModifierMapMask masks
+are set in the
+.I which
+parameter. If they are not valid,
+.I XkbAllocClientMap
+returns BadValue.
+
+If the client map of the keyboard description is not NULL, and any fields are
+already allocated in the client map,
+.I XkbAllocClientMap
+does not overwrite the existing values; it simply ignores that part of the
+request. The only exception is the
+.I types
+array. If
+.I type_count
+is greater than the current
+.I num_types
+field of the client map,
+.I XkbAllocClientMap
+resizes the
+.I types
+array and resets the
+.I num_types
+field accordingly.
+
+If
+.I XkbAllocClientMap
+is successful, it returns Success. Otherwise, it can return either BadMatch,
+BadAlloc, or BadValue errors.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 15
+.B BadAlloc
+Unable to allocate storage
+.TP 15
+.B BadMatch
+A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has
+correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
+.TP 15
+.B BadValue
+An argument is out of range
