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
  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.

  lower_return
      Returns the lowercase form of keysym, or keysym.

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

  upper_return
      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, XKeysymToKeycode
  returns zero.

  The XConvertCase function returns the uppercase and lowercase forms of the
  specified Keysym, if the KeySym is subject to case conversion; otherwise,
  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.
