     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
          Valid KeySym names are listed in <X11/keysymdef.h> by
          removing the XK_ prefix from each name.  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.  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.
