In the event you need to create a keyboard description from +scratch, however, use +.I XkbAllocKeyboard +rather than directly calling +.I malloc. + +If +.I XkbAllocKeyboard +fails to allocate the keyboard description, it returns NULL. +Otherwise, it returns a pointer to an empty keyboard description structure. The +.I device_spec +field will have been initialized to XkbUseCoreKbd. You may then +either fill in the structure components or use Xkb functions to obtain values +for the structure components from a keyboard device. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR malloc (3F), +.BR XkbUseCoreKbd (__libmansuffix__), +.BR XkbGetKeyboard (__libmansuffix__) + + |
