XKeysymToString(3X)		XLIB FUNCTIONS		   XKeysymToString(3X)

NAME
       XKeysymToString - convert keysyms

SYNTAX
       char *XKeysymToString(keysym)
	     KeySym keysym;

ARGUMENTS
       keysym	 Specifies the KeySym that is to be searched for or converted.

DESCRIPTION
       Standard KeySym names are obtained from <X11/keysymdef.h> by removing
       the XK_ prefix from each name.  KeySyms that are not part of the Xlib
       standard also may be obtained with this function.  The set of KeySyms
       that are available in this manner and the mechanisms by which Xlib
       obtains them is implementation dependent.

       If the KeySym name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the
       result is implementation dependent.  If the specified string does not
       match a valid KeySym, XStringToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

       To convert a KeySym code to the name of teh KeySym, use XString‐
       ToKeysym.

       The returned string is in a static area and must not be modified.  The
       returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding.  If the
       specified KeySym is not defined, XKeysymToString returns a NULL.
