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, 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.

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