TERMKEY_KEYNAME2SYM(3) Library Functions Manual TERMKEY_KEYNAME2SYM(3) NAME termkey_keyname2sym - look up a symbolic key value for a string name SYNOPSIS #include <termkey.h> TermKeySym termkey_keyname2sym(TermKey *tk, const char *keyname); Link with -ltermkey. DESCRIPTION termkey_keyname2sym() looks up the symbolic key value represented by the given string name. This is a case-sensitive comparison. If the given name is not found, TERMKEY_SYM_UNKNOWN is returned instead. This function is the inverse of termkey_get_keyname(3), and is a more spe- cific form of termkey_lookup_keyname(3) which only recognises names as complete strings. Because the key names are stored in an array indexed by the symbol num- ber, this function has to perform a linear search of the names. Use of this function should be restricted to converting key names into sym- bolic values during a program's initialisation, so that efficient com- parisons can be done while it is running. RETURN VALUE termkey_keyname2sym() returns a symbolic key constant, or TERMKEY_SYM_UNKNOWN. SEE ALSO termkey_get_keyname(3), termkey_lookup_keyname(3), termkey_strpkey(3), termkey(7) TERMKEY_KEYNAME2SYM(3)
