xkblookupkeybinding
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.
