XkbLookupKeyBinding(3) XKB FUNCTIONS 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 func-
tion.
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 re-
turns 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 re-
turns the number of bytes that it placed into buf.
