XkbTranslateKeySym(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbTranslateKeySym(3)

NAME

       XkbTranslateKeySym - Find the string and symbol associated with a keysym for a given keyboard state

SYNOPSIS

       int XkbTranslateKeySym (Display *dpy, KeySym *sym_inout, unsigned int mods, char *buf, int nbytes, int *extra_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - sym_inout
	      symbol to be translated; result of translation

       - mods modifiers to apply to sym_inout

       - buf  buffer into which returned string is written

       - nbytes
	      size of buffer in bytes

       - extra_rtrn
	      number of bytes overflow

DESCRIPTION

       XkbTranslateKeySym  applies  the  transformations specified in mods to the symbol specified by sym_inout.  It returns in buf the string, if
       any, associated with the keysym for the current locale. If the transformations in mods changes the keysym,  sym_inout  is  updated  accord-
       ingly.  If  the	string	returned is larger than nbytes, a count of bytes that does not fit into the buffer is returned in extra_rtrn. Xkb-
       TranslateKeySym returns the number of bytes it placed into buf.

RETURN VALUES

       buf	      Returns the string, if any, associated with the keysym for the current locale.

XkbLookupKeyBinding(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					    XkbLookupKeyBinding(3)

NAME

       XkbLookupKeyBinding - Find the string bound to a key by XRebindKeySym

SYNOPSIS

       int XkbLookupKeyBinding (Display *dpy, KeySym sym, unsigned int state, char *buf, int nbytes, int *extra_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to server

       - sym  connection to server

       - state
	      state for which string is to be looked up

       - buf  buffer into which returned string is written

       - nbytes
	      size of buffer in bytes

       - extra_rtrn
	      backfilled with number bytes overflow

DESCRIPTION

       XkbLookupKeyBinding is the equivalent of the core XLookupString function.

       XRebindKeysym  binds an ASCII string to a specified keysym, so that the string and keysym are returned when the key is pressed and a speci-
       fied list of modifiers are also being held down.  XkbLookupKeyBinding returns in buf the string associated with the keysym sym and modifier
       state  state.  buf  is NULL terminated unless there's an overflow. If the string returned is larger than nbytes, a count of bytes that does
       not fit into the buffer is returned in extra_rtrn.  XkbTranslateKeySym returns the number of bytes that it placed into buf.
