scancode_to_ascii(3)		 Allegro manual 	    scancode_to_ascii(3)

NAME
     scancode_to_ascii - Converts a scancode to an ASCII character. Allegro game
     programming library.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <allegro.h>

     int scancode_to_ascii(int scancode);

DESCRIPTION
     Converts  the  given  scancode to an ASCII character for that key (mangling
     Unicode values), returning the unshifted uncapslocked  result  of	pressing
     the  key, or zero if the key isn't a character-generating key or the lookup
     can't be done. The lookup cannot be done for keys like the F1-F12	keys  or
     the cursor keys, and some drivers will only return approximate values. Gen-
     erally,  if  you  want to display the name of a key to the user, you should
     use the scancode_to_name function.

     Example:

	int ascii;
	...
	ascii = scancode_to_ascii(scancode);
	allegro_message("You pressed '%c'\n", ascii);
