+.I \- geom

+.TP
+.I \- num_needed
+number of new sections required
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a
+keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify keyboard geometries.
+Note that these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it
+is up to you to fill in the values explicitly in your code. These allocation
+functions increase
+.I sz_*
+but never touch
+.I num_*
+(unless there is an allocation failure, in which case they reset both
+.I sz_*
+and
+.I 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.
+
+.I XkbAllocGeomSections
+allocates
+.I num_needed
+sections and adds them to the geometry
+.I geom.
+No initialization of the sections is done.
+
+To free geometry sections, use
+.I XkbFreeGeomSections.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 15
+.B BadAlloc
+Unable to allocate storage
+.TP 15
+.B BadValue
+An argument is out of range
