XkbTranslateKeySym(3)                           XKB FUNCTIONS                          XkbTranslateKeySym(3)



NAME
       XkbTranslateKeySym - Find the string and symbol associated with a keysym for a given keyboard state

SYNOPSIS
       int XkbTranslateKeySym ( dpy , sym_inout , mods , buf , nbytes , extra_rtrn )
             Display *dpy;
             KeySym *sym_inout;
             unsigned int  mods;
             char *buf;
             int nbytes;
             int *extra_rtrn;

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to X server

       - sym_inout
              symbol to be translated; result of translation

       - mods modifiers to apply to sym_inout

       - buf  buffer into which returned string is written

       - nbytes
              size of buffer in bytes

       - extra_rtrn
              number of bytes overflow

DESCRIPTION
       XkbTranslateKeySym  applies  the  transformations  specified  in  mods  to  the  symbol  specified by
       sym_inout.  It returns in buf the string, if any, associated with the keysym for the current  locale.
       If  the  transformations  in mods changes the keysym, sym_inout is updated accordingly. If the string
       returned is larger than nbytes, a count of bytes that does not fit into the  buffer  is  returned  in
       extra_rtrn. XkbTranslateKeySym returns the number of bytes it placed into buf.

RETURN VALUES
       buf            Returns the string, if any, associated with the keysym for the current locale.
