-Returns the KeySym computed from the event if this argument is not NULL.

-Returns a value indicating what kind of data is returned.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.ZN XmbLookupString ,
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-and
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-functions return the string from the input method specified
-in the buffer_return argument.
-If no string is returned,
-the buffer_return argument is unchanged.
-.LP
-The KeySym into which the KeyCode from the event was mapped is returned
-in the keysym_return argument if it is non-NULL and the status_return
-argument indicates that a KeySym was returned.
-If both a string and a KeySym are returned,
-the KeySym value does not necessarily correspond to the string returned.
-.LP
-.ZN XmbLookupString
-and
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-return the length of the string in bytes, and
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-returns the length of the string in characters.
-Both
-.ZN XmbLookupString
-and
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-return text in the encoding of the locale bound to the input method
-of the specified input context, and
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-returns text in UTF-8 encoding.
-.LP
-Each string returned by
-.ZN XmbLookupString
-and
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-begins in the initial state of the encoding of the locale
-(if the encoding of the locale is state-dependent).
-.NT
-To ensure proper input processing,
-it is essential that the client pass only
-.ZN KeyPress
-events to
-.ZN XmbLookupString ,
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-and
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString .
-Their behavior when a client passes a
-.ZN KeyRelease
-event is undefined.
-.NE
-.LP
-Clients should check the status_return argument before
-using the other returned values.
-These three functions each return a value to status_return
-that indicates what has been returned in the other arguments.
-The possible values returned are:
-.TS
-lw(1.5i) lw(4.3i).
-T{
-.ZN XBufferOverflow
-T} T{
-The input string to be returned is too large for the supplied buffer_return.
-The required size (for
-.ZN XmbLookupString ,
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-in bytes; for
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-in characters) is returned as the value of the function,
-and the contents of buffer_return and keysym_return are not modified.
-The client should recall the function with the same event
-and a buffer of adequate size to obtain the string.
-T}
-T{
-.ZN XLookupNone
-T} T{
-No consistent input has been composed so far.
-The contents of buffer_return and keysym_return are not modified,
-and the function returns zero.
-T}
-T{
-.ZN XLookupChars
-T} T{
-Some input characters have been composed.
-They are placed in the buffer_return argument, using the encoding
-described above,
-and the string length is returned as the value of the function.
-The content of the keysym_return argument is not modified.
-T}
-T{
-.ZN XLookupKeySym
-T} T{
-A KeySym has been returned instead of a string
-and is returned in keysym_return.
-The content of the buffer_return argument is not modified,
-and the function returns zero.
-T}
-T{
-.ZN XLookupBoth
-T} T{
-Both a KeySym and a string are returned;
-.ZN XLookupChars
-and
-.ZN XLookupKeySym
-occur simultaneously.
-T}
-.TE
-.LP
-It does not make any difference if the input context passed as an argument to
-.ZN XmbLookupString ,
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-and
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-is the one currently in possession of the focus or not.
-Input may have been composed within an input context before it lost the focus,
-and that input may be returned on subsequent calls to
-.ZN XmbLookupString ,
-.ZN XwcLookupString
-or
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-even though it does not have any more keyboard focus.
-.LP
-The function
-.ZN Xutf8LookupString
-is an extension introduced by The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2
-release. Its presence is
-indicated by the macro
-.ZN X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING .
