29
30       lower_return
31                 Returns the lowercase form of keysym, or keysym.
32
33       string    Specifies the name of the KeySym that is to be converted.

DESCRIPTION

39       Standard KeySym names are obtained from X11/keysymdef.h by removing the
40       XK_ prefix from each name.  KeySyms that are not part of the Xlib stan‐
41       dard  also may be obtained with this function.  The set of KeySyms that
42       are available in this manner and the mechanisms by which  Xlib  obtains
43       them is implementation-dependent.
44
45       If  the KeySym name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the
46       result is implementation-dependent.  If the specified string  does  not
47       match a valid KeySym, XStringToKeysym returns NoSymbol.
48
49       The  returned string is in a static area and must not be modified.  The
50       returned string is in the Host Portable  Character  Encoding.   If  the
51       specified KeySym is not defined, XKeysymToString returns a NULL.
52
53       The XKeycodeToKeysym function uses internal Xlib tables and returns the
54       KeySym defined for the specified KeyCode and the element of the KeyCode
55       vector.   If  no  symbol is defined, XKeycodeToKeysym returns NoSymbol.
56       XKeycodeToKeysym predates the XKB extension.  If you want to  lookup  a
57       KeySym while using XKB you have to use XkbKeycodeToKeysym.
58
59       If  the  specified KeySym is not defined for any KeyCode, XKeysymToKey‐
60       code returns zero.
61
62       The XConvertCase function returns the uppercase and lowercase forms  of
63       the specified Keysym, if the KeySym is subject to case conversion; oth‐
64       erwise, the specified KeySym is returned to both lower_return  and  up‐
65       per_return.   Support  for  conversion of other than Latin and Cyrillic
66       KeySyms is implementation-dependent.
