This function is the inverse of \fBtermkey_get_keyname\fP(3). +\fBtermkey_keyname2sym\fP 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, \fBTERMKEY_SYM_UNKNOWN\fP is returned instead. This function is the inverse of \fBtermkey_get_keyname\fP(3), and is a more specific form of \fBtermkey_lookup_keyname\fP(3) which only recognises names as complete strings. .PP Because the key names are stored in an array indexed by the symbol number, this function has to perform a linear search of the names. Use of this function should be restricted to converting key names into symbolic values during a program's initialisation, so that efficient comparisons can be done while it is running. .SH "RETURN VALUE" -\fBtermkey_get_key\fP() returns a pointer to a string. +\fBtermkey_keyname2sym\fP() returns a symbolic key constant, or \fBTERMKEY_SYM_UNKNOWN\fP. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR termkey_new (3), .BR termkey_get_keyname (3), -.BR termkey_strfkey (3), +.BR termkey_lookup_keyname (3), .BR termkey_strpkey (3) |
