+.TP

+total number of key aliases needed
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Most applications do not need to directly allocate symbolic names structures. Do
+not allocate a names structure directly using
+.I malloc
+or
+.I Xmalloc
+if your application changes the number of key aliases or radio groups or
+constructs a symbolic names structure without loading the necessary components
+from the X server. Instead use
+.I XkbAllocNames.
+
+.I XkbAllocNames
+can return BadAlloc, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. The
+.I which
+parameter is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in
+Table 1.

+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
