NAME
       XStringToKeysym, XKeysymToString, XKeycodeToKeysym,
       XKeysymToKeycode - convert keysyms

SYNTAX
       KeySym XStringToKeysym(string)
             char *string;

       char *XKeysymToString(keysym)
             KeySym keysym;

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

       KeyCode XKeysymToKeycode(display, keysym)
             Display *display;
             KeySym keysym;

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.

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

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.  Note that the set of KeySysms 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, XString-
       ToKeysym 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

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