XkbTranslateKeySym(3Xkb)	 XKB FUNCTION	      XkbTranslateKeySym(3Xkb)

NAME
       XkbTranslateKeySym  -  Find  the	 string	 and  symbol associated with a
       keysym for a given keyboard state

SYNOPSIS
       int XkbTranslateKeySym ( dpy , sym_inout	 ,  mods  ,  buf  ,  nbytes  ,
       extra_rtrn )
	     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

DESCRIPTION
       XkbTranslateKeySym 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.
