.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBtermkey_lookup_keyname\fP() looks up the symbolic key value represented by the given string name. This is a case-sensitive comparison. The symbolic value is written to the variable addressed by \fIsym\fP. This function is a more general form of \fBtermkey_keyname2sym\fP(3) because it can recognise a symbolic key name within a longer string, returning a pointer to the remainder of the input after the key name.
|
|
.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_lookup_keyname\fP() returns a pointer to the first character after a recognised name, or \fBNULL\fP if the string does not begin with the name of a recognised symbolic key.
