TERMKEY_STRPKEY(3)	   Library Functions Manual	    TERMKEY_STRPKEY(3)

NAME
       termkey_strpkey - parse a string	representing a key event

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<termkey.h>

       char *termkey_strpkey(TermKey *tk, const	char *str,
		   TermKeyKey *key, TermKeyFormat format);

       Link with -ltermkey.

DESCRIPTION
       termkey_strpkey(3)  parses  a string buffer containing a	human-readable
       representation of a key event. It fills the key structure from the  re-
       sults  of  this	parsing,  similar  to the strptime(3) standard library
       function.

       The format argument specifies the format	expected in the	string,	 as  a
       bitmask of the following	constants:

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_LONGMOD
	      Expect full modifier names e.g. "Shift-" instead of abbreviating
	      to "S-".

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_CARETCTRL
	      If  the only modifier is TERMKEY_MOD_CTRL	on a plain letter, ac-
	      cept it as "^X" rather than "Ctrl-X".

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_ALTISMETA
	      Expect the name "Meta" or	the letter "M"	instead	 of  "Alt"  or
	      "A".

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_SPACEMOD
	      Expect  spaces  instead  of  hyphens  to	separate  the modifier
	      name(s) from the base key	name.

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_LOWERMOD
	      Expect lowercase for the modifier	name.

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_LOWERSPACE
	      Expect lowercase with spaces in for  the	key  name  instead  of
	      camelCase	(for example "page down" instead of "PageDown").

       TERMKEY_FORMAT_MOUSE_POS
	      Expect  a	mouse event to be followed by its position rendered as
	      "@ (col,line)".

       Before returning, this function canonicalises the key structure accord-
       ing to the rules	given for termkey_canonicalise(3).

       The TERMKEY_FORMAT_WRAPBRACKET option is	 currently  not	 supported  by
       termkey_strpkey(). When returning a TERMKEY_TYPE_UNICODE	key structure,
       this function will fill in the utf8 member.

RETURN VALUE
       After  a	 successful  parse, termkey_strpkey() returns a	pointer	to the
       first character of the input it did not consume.	If  the	 input	string
       contains	 more  characters  then	this will point	at the first character
       beyond. If the entire input string was consumed,	then this  will	 point
       at  a  null byte. If termkey_strpkey() fails to parse, it returns NULL.
       After a failed parse, the key structure may contain partial or  invalid
       results.	 The  structure	 will  only be valid if	the function returns a
       non-NULL	result.
