NAME

XkbGetGeometry - Loads a keyboard geometry if you already have the keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

Status XkbGetGeometry (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb);

ARGUMENTS

- dpy: connection to the X server
- xkb: keyboard description that contains the ID for the keyboard and into which the geometry should be loaded

DESCRIPTION

You can load a keyboard geometry as part of the keyboard description returned by XkbGetKeyboard. However, if a keyboard description has been previously loaded, you can instead obtain the geometry by calling the XkbGetGeometry. In this case, the geometry returned is the one associated with the keyboard whose device ID is contained in the keyboard description.

XkbGetGeometry can return BadValue, BadImplementation, BadName, BadAlloc, or BadLength errors or Success if it succeeds.

DIAGNOSTICS

BadAlloc: Unable to allocate storage
BadImplementation: Invalid reply from server
BadLength: The length of a request is shorter or longer than that required to minimally contain the arguments
BadName: A font or color of the specified name does not exist
BadValue: An argument is out of range
