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 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.
