XkbLookupKeyBinding(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					    XkbLookupKeyBinding(3)

NAME
XkbLookupKeyBinding - Find the string bound to a key by XRebindKeySym SYNOPSIS
int XkbLookupKeyBinding ( dpy, sym, state, buf, nbytes, extra_rtrn ) 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.

Name
  XRebindKeysym - rebind a keysym to a string for client.

Synopsis
  XRebindKeysym(display, keysym, mod_list, mod_count, string,
	    num_bytes)
	Display *display;
	KeySym keysym;
	KeySym *mod_list;
	int mod_count;
	unsigned char *string;
	int num_bytes;

Arguments
  display   Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay().

  keysym    Specifies the keysym to be rebound.

  mod_list  Specifies a pointer to an array of keysyms that are being used as modifiers.

  mod_count Specifies the number of modifiers in the modifier list.

  string    Specifies a pointer to the string that is to be copied and returned by XLookupString() in response to later events.

  num_bytes Specifies the length of the string.

Description
  XRebindKeysym() binds the string to the specified keysym, so that string and keysym are returned by XLookukpString when that key is pressed
  and the modifiers specified in mod_list are also being held down.  This function rebinds the meaning of a keysym for a client.  It does not
  redefine  the  keycode in the server but merely provides an easy way for long strings to be attached to keys.  No text conversions are per-
  formed; the client is responsible for supplying appropriately encoded strings.  Note that you are allowed to rebind a keysym that  may  not
  exist.

  See Volume One, Chapter 9, The Keyboard and Pointer, for a description of keysyms and keyboard mapping.
