XkbKeycodeToKeysym(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbKeycodeToKeysym(3)

NAME

       XkbKeycodeToKeysym - Finds the keysym bound to a particular key at a specified group and shift level

SYNOPSIS

       KeySym XkbKeycodeToKeysym (Display *dpy, KeyCode kc, unsigned int group, unsigned int level);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - kc   key of interest

       - group
	      group of interest

       - level
	      shift level of interest

DESCRIPTION

       XkbKeycodeToKeysym returns the keysym bound to a particular group and shift level for a particular key on the core keyboard. If kc is not a
       legal keycode for the core keyboard, or if group or level are out of range for the specified key, XkbKeycodeToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

XStringToKeysym(3)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						XStringToKeysym(3)

NAME

       XStringToKeysym, XKeysymToString, XKeycodeToKeysym, XKeysymToKeycode, XConvertCase - convert keysyms

SYNTAX

       KeySym XStringToKeysym(char *string);

       char *XKeysymToString(KeySym keysym);

       KeySym XKeycodeToKeysym(Display *display, KeyCode keycode, int index);

       KeyCode XKeysymToKeycode(Display *display, KeySym keysym);

       void XConvertCase(KeySym keysym, KeySym *lower_return, KeySym *upper_return);

ARGUMENTS

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       index	 Specifies the element of KeyCode vector.

       keycode	 Specifies the KeyCode.

       keysym	 Specifies the KeySym that is to be searched for or converted.

       lower_return
		 Returns the lowercase form of keysym, or keysym.

       string	 Specifies the name of the KeySym that is to be converted.

       upper_return
		 Returns the uppercase form of keysym, or keysym.

DESCRIPTION

       Standard KeySym names are obtained from <X11/keysymdef.h> by removing the XK_ prefix from each name.  KeySyms that are not part of the Xlib
       standard also may be obtained with this function.  The set of KeySyms that are available in this manner and the mechanisms by which Xlib
       obtains them is implementation-dependent.

       If the KeySym name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent.  If the specified string does
       not match a valid KeySym, XStringToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

       The returned string is in a static area and must not be modified.  The returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding.  If the
       specified KeySym is not defined, XKeysymToString returns a NULL.

       The XKeycodeToKeysym function uses internal Xlib tables and returns the KeySym defined for the specified KeyCode and the element of the
       KeyCode vector.	If no symbol is defined, XKeycodeToKeysym returns NoSymbol.  XKeycodeToKeysym predates the XKB extension. If you want to
       lookup a KeySym while using XKB you have to use XkbKeycodeToKeysym.

       If the specified KeySym is not defined for any KeyCode, XKeysymToKeycode returns zero.

       The XConvertCase function returns the uppercase and lowercase forms of the specified Keysym, if the KeySym is subject to case conversion;
       otherwise, the specified KeySym is returned to both lower_return and upper_return.  Support for conversion of other than Latin and Cyrillic
       KeySyms is implementation-dependent.
