NAME

       termkey_lookup_keyname - look up a symbolic key value for a string name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <termkey.h>

       char *termkey_lookup_keyname(TermKey *tk, const char *keyname,
                  TermKeySym *sym);

       Link with -ltermkey.

DESCRIPTION

       termkey_lookup_keyname()  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 sym. This  function
       is  a  more  general form of termkey_keyname2sym(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.

       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.

RETURN VALUE

       termkey_lookup_keyname() returns a pointer to the first character after a recognised name, or NULL if the
       string does not begin with the name of a recognised symbolic key.
