NAME

       XkbAllocKeyboard -  Creates a keyboard description from scratch

SYNOPSIS

       XkbDescRec XkbAllocKeyboard (void);

DESCRIPTION

       Applications  seldom  need to directly allocate a keyboard description;
       calling XkbGetKeyboard usually suffices.  In  the  event  you  need  to
       create    a   keyboard   description   from   scratch,   however,   use
       XkbAllocKeyboard rather than directly calling malloc.

       If XkbAllocKeyboard fails to  allocate  the  keyboard  description,  it
       returns  NULL.   Otherwise,  it  returns a pointer to an empty keyboard
       description structure. The device_spec field will have been initialized
       to  XkbUseCoreKbd. You may then either fill in the structure components
       or use Xkb functions to obtain values for the structure components from
       a keyboard device.
