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.
