XStringToKeysym(3X) XLIB FUNCTIONS XStringToKeysym(3X)NAMEXStringToKeysym - convert keysyms
SYNTAX
KeySym XStringToKeysym(string)
char *string;
ARGUMENTS
string Specifies the name of the KeySym that is to be converted.
DESCRIPTION
To obtain the name of the KeySym to the KeySym code, use XString‐
ToKeysym.
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.
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.
