.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBtermkey_new\fP() creates a new termkey instance connected to the file handle opened by \fIfd\fP using the \fIflags\fP. The \fBtermkey_tk\fP structure should be considered opaque; its contents are not intended for use outside of the library.
.PP
\fBtermkey_destroy\fP() destroys the given instance and releases any resources controlled by it. It will not close the underlying filehandle given as the \fIfd\fP argument to \fBtermkey_new\fP().
.PP
The following values may be given as the \fIflags\fP bitmask:
.TP
.B TERMKEY_FLAG_NOINTERPRET
Do not attempt to interpret \fBC0\fP codes into keysyms. Instead report them as plain "Ctrl-letter" events.
.TP
.B TERMKEY_FLAG_CONVERTKP
Convert xterm's alternative keypad symbols into the plain
.SM ASCII
codes they would represent.
.TP
.B TERMKEY_FLAG_RAW
Ignore locale settings; do not attempt to recombine UTF-8 sequences. Instead report only raw values.
.TP
.B TERMKEY_FLAG_UTF8
Ignore locale settings; force UTF-8 recombining on. This flag overrides \fBTERMKEY_FLAG_RAW\fP.
.TP
.B TERMKEY_FLAG_NOTERMIOS
Even if the terminal file descriptor \fIfd\fP represents a
.SM TTY
device, do not call the \fBtcsetattr\fP() \fBtermios\fP function on it to set it to canonical input mode.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
If successful, \fBtermkey_new\fP() returns a pointer to the new instance. On failure, \fBNULL\fP is returned. \fBtermkey_destroy\fP() returns no value.
