XkbResizeKeyType(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS		   XkbResizeKeyType(3)

NAME
       XkbResizeKeyType - Change the number of levels in a key type

SYNOPSIS
       Status  XkbResizeKeyType	 (XkbDescPtr xkb, int type_ndx, int map_count,
	      Bool want_preserve, int new_num_lvls);

ARGUMENTS
       - xkb  keyboard description containing client map to update

       - type_ndx
	      index in xkb->map->types of type to change

       - map_count
	      total # of map entries needed for the type

       - want_preserve
	      True => list of preserved modifiers is necessary

       - new_num_lvls
	      new max # of levels for type

DESCRIPTION
       XkbResizeKeyType	     changes	  the	   type	     specified	    by
       xkb->map->types[type_ndx],  and	reallocates  the  symbols  and actions
       bound to all keys that use the type,  if	 necessary.   XkbResizeKeyType
       updates only the local copy of the types in xkb; to update the server's
       copy for the physical device, use XkbSetMap or XkbChangeMap after call‐
       ing XkbResizeKeyType.

       The  map_count  parameter  specifies  the  total	 number of map entries
       needed for the type, and can be zero or greater. If map_count is	 zero,
       XkbResizeKeyType	 frees	the  existing map and preserve entries for the
       type if they exist and sets them to NULL.

       The want_preserve parameter specifies whether a preserve list  for  the
       key should be created. If want_preserve is True, the preserve list with
       map_count entries is allocated or reallocated  if  it  already  exists.
       Otherwise,  if  want_preserve  is False, the preserve field is freed if
       necessary and set to NULL.

       The new_num_lvls parameter specifies the new maximum  number  of	 shift
       levels for the type and is used to calculate and resize the symbols and
       actions bound to all keys that use the type.

       If type_ndx does not specify a legal type, new_num_lvls is less than 1,
       or  the map_count is less than zero, XkbResizeKeyType returns BadValue.
       If XkbResizeKeyType encounters any problems with allocation, it returns
       BadAlloc. Otherwise, it returns Success.

RETURN VALUES
       Success	      The   XkbResizeKeyType   function	  returns  Success  if
		      type_ndx specifies a legal type, new_num_lvls is greater
		      than zero and map_count is positive.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc	      Unable to allocate storage

       BadValue	      An argument is out of range
