46  * @parblock
47  *
48  * Compose and dead-keys are a common feature of many keyboard input
49  * systems.  They extend the range of the keysysm that can be produced
50  * directly from a keyboard by using a sequence of key strokes, instead
51  * of just one.
52  *
53  * Here are some example sequences, in the libX11 Compose file format:
54  *
55  *     <dead_acute> <a>         : "á"   aacute # LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
56  *     <Multi_key> <A> <T>      : "@"   at # COMMERCIAL AT
57  *
58  * When the user presses a key which produces the \<dead_acute> keysym,
59  * nothing initially happens (thus the key is dubbed a "dead-key").  But
60  * when the user enters <a>, "á" is "composed", in place of "a".  If
61  * instead the user had entered a keysym which does not follow
62  * \<dead_acute\> in any compose sequence, the sequence is said to be
63  * "cancelled".
64  *
65  * Compose files define many such sequences.  For a description of the
66  * common file format for Compose files, see the Compose(5) man page.
67  *
68  * A successfuly-composed sequence has two results: a keysym and a UTF-8
69  * string.  At least one of the two is defined for each sequence.  If only
70  * a keysym is given, the keysym's string representation is used for the
71  * result string (using xkb_keysym_to_utf8()).
72  *
73  * This library provides low-level support for Compose file parsing and
74  * processing.  Higher-level APIs (such as libX11's Xutf8LookupString(3))
75  * may be built upon it, or it can be used directly.

88  * 2. An equal sequence overrides an existing one.

100  * What should happen when a sequence is cancelled?  For example, consider
101  * there are only the above sequences, and the input kesysms are
102  * \<dead_acute\> \<b\>.  There are a few approaches:
103  *
104  * 1. Swallow the cancelling keysym; that is, no keysym is produced.
105  *    This is the approach taken by libX11.
106  * 2. Let the cancelling keysym through; that is, \<b\> is produced.
107  * 3. Replay the entire sequence; that is, \<dead_acute\> \<b\> is produced.
108  *    This is the approach taken by Microsoft Windows (approximately;
109  *    instead of \<dead_acute\>, the underlying key is used.  This is
110  *    difficult to simulate with XKB keymaps).
111  *
112  * You can program whichever approach best fits users' expectations.

154  * @page compose-locale Compose Locale
155  * @parblock
156  *
157  * Compose files are locale dependent:
158  * - Compose files are written for a locale, and the locale is used when
159  *   searching for the appropriate file to use.
160  * - Compose files may reference the locale internally, with directives
161  *   such as %L.
162  * As such, functions like xkb_compose_table_new_from_locale() require
163  * a @p locale parameter.  This will usually be the current locale (see
164  * locale(7) for more details).  You may also want to allow the user to
165  * explicitly configure it, so he can use the Compose file of a given
166  * locale, but not use that locale for other things.
167  *
168  * You may query the current locale as follows:
169  * @code
170  *     const char *locale;
171  *     locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL);
172  * @endcode
173  *
174  * This will only give useful results if the program had previously set
175  * the current locale using setlocale(3), with LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL and a
176  * non-NULL argument.
177  *
178  * If you prefer not to use the locale system of the C runtime library,
179  * you may nevertheless obtain the user's locale directly using
180  * environment variables, as described in locale(7).  For example,
181  * @code
182  *     locale = getenv("LC_ALL");
183  *     if (!locale)
184  *         locale = getenv("LC_CTYPE");
185  *     if (!locale)
186  *         locale = getenv("LANG");
187  *     if (!locale)
188  *         locale = "C";
189  * @endcode
