# XtGetKeysymTable(3x)

query keysyms and keycodes

## NAME

XtGetKeysymTable, XtKeysymToKeycodeList - query keysyms and keycodes

## SYNTAX

Keysym\* XtGetKeysymTable(Display\* *display*, KeyCode\* *min\_keycode\_return*, int \**keysyms\_per\_keycode\_return*);

void XtKeysymToKeycodeList(Display\* *display*, KeySym *keysym*, KeyCode\*\* *keycodes\_return*, Cardinal\* *keycount\_return*);

## ARGUMENTS

- *display*

  Specifies the display whose table is required.

- *min\_keycode\_return*

  Returns the minimum KeyCode valid for the display.

- *keysyms\_per\_keycode\_return*

  Returns the number of KeySyms stored for each KeyCode.

- *keysym*

  Specifies the KeySym for which to search.

- *keycodes\_return*

  Returns a list of KeyCodes that have *keysym* associated with them, or NULL if *keycount\_return* is 0.

- *keycount\_return*

  Returns the number of KeyCodes in the keycode list.

## DESCRIPTION

*XtGetKeysymTable* returns a pointer to the Intrinsics' copy of the server's KeyCode-to-KeySym table. This table must not be modified.

The *XtKeysymToKeycodeList* procedure returns all the KeyCodes that have *keysym* in their entry for the keyboard mapping table associated with *display*. The caller should free the storage pointed to by *keycodes\_return* using  *XtFree* when it is no longer useful.
