NAME
     XStringToKeysym, XKeysymToString, XKeycodeToKeysym, XKeysym-
     ToKeycode - convert keysyms

SYNTAX
     KeySym XStringToKeysym(string)
           char *string;

     char *XKeysymToString(keysym)
           KeySym keysym;

     KeySym XKeycodeToKeysym(display, keycode, index)
           Display *display;
           KeyCode keycode;
           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 remov-
     ing 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, XKeysym-
     ToString 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.
