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 rep-
     resentation of a key event. It fills the key structure from the results  of
     this parsing, similar to the strptime(3) standard library function.

     The  format argument specifies the format expected in the string, as a bit-
     mask 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, accept
	    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 camel-
	    Case (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 according
     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.
