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

SYNOPSIS
       int XkbTranslateKeySym (Display *dpy, KeySym *syminout,  unsigned  int
              mods, char *buf, int nbytes, int *extrartrn);

ARGUMENTS
       - dpy  connection to X server

       - syminout
              symbol to be translated; result of translation

       - mods modifiers to apply to syminout

       - buf  buffer into which returned string is written

       - nbytes
              size of buffer in bytes

       - extrartrn
              number of bytes overflow

DESCRIPTION
       XkbTranslateKeySym applies the transformations specified in mods to the
       symbol specified by syminout.  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, syminout 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  extrartrn.  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.
