SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]
int XkbTranslateKeySym (Display *dpy, KeySym *sym_inout, unsigned int
mods, char *buf, int nbytes, int *extra_rtrn);
ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to X server
- sym_inout
symbol to be translated; result of translation
- mods modifiers to apply to sym_inout
- buf buffer into which returned string is written
- nbytes
size of buffer in bytes
- extra_rtrn
number of bytes overflow
DESCRIPTIONXkbTranslateKeySym applies the transformations specified in mods to the
symbol specified by sym_inout. It returns in buf the string, if any,
associated with the keysym for the current locale. If the transforma‐
tions in mods changes the keysym, sym_inout is updated accordingly. 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 it placed into buf.
RETURN VALUES
buf Returns the string, if any, associated with the keysym
for the current locale.
