+keyboard description to be changed
+.TP
+.I \- key
+keycode for key to modify
+.TP
+.I \- needed
+new number of keysyms required for key
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+reserves the space needed for
+.I needed
+keysyms and returns a pointer to the beginning of the new array that holds the
+keysyms. It adjusts the
+.I offset
+field of the
+.I key_sym_map
+entry for the key if necessary and can also change the
+.I syms, num_syms,
+and
+.I size_syms
+fields of
+.I xkb->map
+if it is necessary to reallocate the
+.I syms
+array.
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+does not modify either the width or number of groups associated with the key.
+
+If
+.I needed
+is greater than the current number of keysyms for the key,
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+initializes all new keysyms in the array to NoSymbol.
+
+Because the number of symbols needed by a key is normally computed as width *
+number of groups, and
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+does not modify either the width or number of groups for the key, a discrepancy
+exists upon return from
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+between the space allocated for the keysyms and the number required. The unused
+entries in the list of symbols returned by
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+are not preserved across future calls to any of the map editing functions, so
+you must update the key symbol mapping (which updates the width and number of
+groups for the key) before calling another allocator function. A call to
+.I XkbChangeTypesOfKey
+will update the mapping.
+
+If any allocation errors occur while resizing the number of symbols bound to the
+key,
+.I XkbResizeKeySyms
+returns NULL.

+.SH NOTES
+.LP
+A change to the number of symbols bound to a key should be accompanied by a
+change in the number of actions bound to a key. Refer to XkbResizeKeyActions for
+more information on changing the number of actions bound to a key.
