# XkbFreeGeomColors(3)

Free geometry colors

## 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
