XStringToKeysym(3X)                           XStringToKeysym(3X)



NAME
     XStringToKeysym, XKeysymToString, XKeycodeToKeysym,
     XKeysymToKeycode - convert keysyms

SYNOPSIS
     KeySym XStringToKeysym (string)
     char *string;

     char *XKeysymToString (keysym-str)
     KeySym keysym-str;

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

     KeyCode XKeysymToKeycode (display, keysym-kcode)
     Display *display;
     Keysym keysym-kcode;

DESCRIPTION
     These functions handle conversions between keysyms and key-
     codes.  Keysym names are listed in <X11/keysymdef.h>, where
     each name is preceded by XK_, which must be removed to ob-
     tain a valid keysym name.

     The XStringToKeysym function converts the name of a keysym
     to its corresponding keysym code.  This function returns a
     pointer to a string in a static area, so the string must not
     be modified.  If the specified string does not match a valid
     keysym, XStringToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

     The XKeysymToString function converts a keysym code to the
     name of the keysym.  If the specified keysym is not defined,
     XKeysymToString returns a NULL.

     The XKeycodeToKeysym function converts a keycode to a de-
     fined keysym.  If no keysym is defined for the specified
     keycode, XKeycodeToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

     The XKeysymToKeycode function converts a keysym to the ap-
     propriate keycode.  If the specified keysym is not defined
     for any keycode, XKeysymToKeycode returns 0.

   Arguments
     These functions accept the following arguments:

     display Specifies the connection to the X server.

     index-return
             Returns the element of keycode vector.
