NAME
       XStringToKeysym,	 XKeysymToString,  XKeycodeToKeysym, XKeysymToKeycode,
       XConvertCase - convert keysyms

SYNOPSIS
       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;

       void XConvertCase(keysym, lower_return, upper_return)
	       KeySym keysym;
	       KeySym *lower_return;
	       KeySym *upper_return;

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies the connection to the X server.   Specifies  the  element  of
       KeyCode	vector.	  Specifies the KeyCode.  Specifies the KeySym that is
       to be searched for or converted.	 Returns the lowercase form of keysym,
       or  keysym.   Specifies the name of the KeySym that is to be converted.
       Returns the uppercase form of keysym, or keysym.

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       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,	 XKeysymToKey‐
       code returns zero.

       The  XConvertCase function returns the uppercase and lowercase forms of
       the specified Keysym, if the KeySym is subject to case conversion; oth‐
       erwise,	the  specified	KeySym	is  returned  to both lower_return and
       upper_return. Support for conversion of other than Latin	 and  Cyrillic
       KeySyms is implementation dependent.
