+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XLookupKeysym
+function uses a given keyboard event and the index you specified to return
+the KeySym from the list that corresponds to the KeyCode member in the
+.ZN XKeyPressedEvent
+or
+.ZN XKeyReleasedEvent
+structure.
+If no KeySym is defined for the KeyCode of the event,
+.ZN XLookupKeysym
+returns
+.ZN NoSymbol .
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XRefreshKeyboardMapping
+function refreshes the stored modifier and keymap information.
+You usually call this function when a
+.ZN MappingNotify
+event with a request member of
+.ZN MappingKeyboard
+or
+.ZN MappingModifier
+occurs.
+The result is to update Xlib's knowledge of the keyboard.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XLookupString
+function translates a key event to a KeySym and a string.
+The KeySym is obtained by using the standard interpretation of the
+.ZN Shift ,
+.ZN Lock ,
+group, and numlock modifiers as defined in the X Protocol specification.
+If the KeySym has been rebound (see
+.ZN XRebindKeysym ),
+the bound string will be stored in the buffer.
+Otherwise, the KeySym is mapped, if possible, to an ISO Latin-1 character
+or (if the Control modifier is on) to an ASCII control character,
+and that character is stored in the buffer.
+.ZN XLookupString
+returns the number of characters that are stored in the buffer.
+.LP
+If present (non-NULL),
+the
+.ZN XComposeStatus
+structure records the state,
+which is private to Xlib,
+that needs preservation across calls to
+.ZN XLookupString
+to implement compose processing.
+The creation of
+.ZN XComposeStatus
+structures is implementation-dependent;
+a portable program must pass NULL for this argument.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XRebindKeysym
+function can be used to rebind the meaning of a KeySym for the client.
+It does not redefine any key in the X server but merely
+provides an easy way for long strings to be attached to keys.
+.ZN XLookupString
+returns this string when the appropriate set of
+modifier keys are pressed and when the KeySym would have been used for
+the translation.
+No text conversions are performed;
+the client is responsible for supplying appropriately encoded strings.
+Note that you can rebind a KeySym that may not exist.
