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

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

ARGUMENTS
       dpy    connection to X server

       sym_inout
              symbol to be translated; result of translation

       mods   modifiers to apply to sym_inout

       buf    buffer into which returned string is written

       nbytes size of buffer in bytes

       extra_rtrn
              number of bytes overflow

DESCRIPTION
       XkbTranslateKeySym applies the transformations specified in mods to the
       symbol specified by sym_inout.  It returns in buf the string, if any,
       associated with the keysym for the current locale. If the
       transformations in mods changes the keysym, sym_inout 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 extra_rtrn.
       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.
