XkbFreeNames(3)


NAME

   XkbFreeNames - Free symbolic names structures

SYNOPSIS

   void XkbFreeNames (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, Bool free_map);

ARGUMENTS

   - xkb  keyboard description for which names are to be freed

   - which
          mask of names components to be freed

   - free_map
          True => XkbNamesRec structure itself should be freed

DESCRIPTION

   Do  not  free  symbolic  names structures directly using free or XFree.
   Use XkbFreeNames instead.

   The which parameter is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask
   bits defined in Table 1.

   Xkb  provides  several functions that work with symbolic names. Each of
   these functions uses  a  mask  to  specify  individual  fields  of  the
   structures  described above. These masks and their relationships to the
   fields in a keyboard description are shown in Table 1.
