.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- xkb
keyboard description for which names are to be allocated
.TP
.I \- which
mask of names to be allocated
.TP
.I \- num_rg
total number of radio group names needed
.TP
.I \- num_key_aliases
total number of key aliases needed
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Most applications do not need to directly allocate symbolic names structures. Do
not allocate a names structure directly using
.I malloc
or
.I Xmalloc
if your application changes the number of key aliases or radio groups or
constructs a symbolic names structure without loading the necessary components
from the X server. Instead use
.I XkbAllocNames.
.I XkbAllocNames
can return BadAlloc, BadMatch, and BadValue errors. The
.I which
parameter is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid names mask bits defined in
Table 1.

.TE
Do not free symbolic names structures directly using
.I free
or
.I XFree.
Use
.I XkbFreeNames
instead.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.TP 15
.B BadAlloc
Unable to allocate storage
.TP 15
.B BadMatch
A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has
correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid
.TP 15
.B BadValue
An argument is out of range
