XkbFreeGeomColors(3)


NAME

   XkbFreeGeomColors - Free geometry colors

SYNOPSIS

   void XkbFreeGeomColors (XkbGeometryPtr geom, int first, int count, Bool
          free_all);

ARGUMENTS

   - geom geometry in which colors should be freed

   - first
          first color to be freed

   - count
          number of colors to be freed

   - free_all
          True => all colors are freed

DESCRIPTION

   Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and  free  subcomponents
   of  a  keyboard  geometry.  Use  these  functions  to  create or modify
   keyboard geometries.  Note that these functions merely  allocate  space
   for  the  new  element(s),  and  it  is up to you to fill in the values
   explicitly in your code. These allocation functions increase  sz_*  but
   never touch num_* (unless there is an allocation failure, in which case
   they reset both sz_* and num_* to zero). These functions return Success
   if  they  succeed,  BadAlloc if they are not able to allocate space, or
   BadValue if a parameter is not as expected.

   If free_all is True, all colors are freed regardless of  the  value  of
   first  or  count.  Otherwise, count colors are freed beginning with the
   one specified by first.

DIAGNOSTICS

   BadAlloc       Unable to allocate storage

   BadValue       An argument is out of range
