If successful, XkbGetKeyboard returns a pointer to a newly allocated XkbDescRec structure, which is described in XkbGetKeyboardByName(3), and which should be freed with XkbFreeKeyboard(3). If XkbGetKeyboard does not succeed, it returns NULL. DIAGNOSTICS BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage SEE ALSO XkbGetKeyboardByName(3) X Version 11 libX11 1.8.10 XkbGetKeyboard(3)
