DESCRIPTION

30       XkbTranslateKeySym applies the transformations specified in mods to the
31       symbol specified by sym_inout.  It returns in buf the string,  if  any,
32       associated  with  the keysym for the current locale. If the transforma‐
33       tions in mods changes the keysym, sym_inout is updated accordingly.  If
34       the  string  returned is larger than nbytes, a count of bytes that does
35       not fit into the buffer is returned in  extra_rtrn.  XkbTranslateKeySym
36       returns the number of bytes it placed into buf.
