.SH NAME
XkbFreeNames \- Free symbolic names structures
.SH SYNOPSIS
.HP
.B void XkbFreeNames
.BI "(\^XkbDescPtr " "xkb" "\^,"
.BI "unsigned int " "which" "\^,"
.BI "Bool " "free_map" "\^);"
.if n .ti +5n
.if t .ti +.5i
.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- xkb
keyboard description for which names are to be freed
.TP
.I \- which
mask of names components to be freed
.TP
.I \- free_map
True => XkbNamesRec structure itself should be freed
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Do not free symbolic names structures directly using 
.I free 
or 
.I XFree. 
Use 
.I XkbFreeNames 
instead.

The 
.I 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.
