XkbLookupKeyBinding(3)


NAME

   XkbLookupKeyBinding - Find the string bound to a key by XRebindKeySym

SYNOPSIS

   int  XkbLookupKeyBinding (Display *dpy, KeySym sym, unsigned int state,
          char *buf, int nbytes, int *extra_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

   - dpy  connection to server

   - sym  connection to server

   - state
          state for which string is to be looked up

   - buf  buffer into which returned string is written

   - nbytes
          size of buffer in bytes

   - extra_rtrn
          backfilled with number bytes overflow

DESCRIPTION

   XkbLookupKeyBinding  is  the  equivalent  of  the  core   XLookupString
   function.

   XRebindKeysym  binds an ASCII string to a specified keysym, so that the
   string and keysym are returned when the key is pressed and a  specified
   list  of  modifiers  are  also  being  held  down.  XkbLookupKeyBinding
   returns in buf the string associated with the keysym sym  and  modifier
   state  state. buf is NULL terminated unless there's an overflow. 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 that it placed into buf.
