.SH NAME
XkbAllocClientMap \- Allocate and initialize an empty client map description
record
.SH SYNOPSIS
.HP
.B Status XkbAllocClientMap
.BI "(\^XkbDescPtr " "xkb" "\^,"
.BI "unsigned int " "which" "\^,"
.BI "unsigned int " "type_count" "\^);"

.if t .ti +.5i
.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- xkb
keyboard description in which to allocate client map
.TP
.I \- which
mask selecting map components to allocate
.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
