           int index;

     KeyCode XKeysymToKeycode(display, keysym)
           Display *display;
           KeySym keysym;

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

     index     Specifies the element of KeyCode vector.

     keycode   Specifies the KeyCode.

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

     string    Specifies the name of the KeySym that is to be converted.

DESCRIPTION
     Valid KeySym names are listed in <X11/keysymdef.h> by removing the XK_
     prefix from each name.  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.  If the
     specified KeySym is not defined, XKeysymToString returns a NULL.

     The XKeycodeToKeysym function uses internal Xlib tables and returns the
     KeySym defined for the specified KeyCode and the element of the KeyCode
     vector.  If no symbol is defined, XKeycodeToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

     If the specified KeySym is not defined for any KeyCode, XKeysymToKeycode
     returns zero.
