Arguments

 

key-code

   OpenVMS usage:word_unsigned
   type:         word (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference

   Specifies the key code to translate into a key name. The key-code
   argument is the address of an unsigned word that contains the key
   code.

   The key code is returned by SMG$READ_COMPOSED_LINE, SMG$READ_
   KEYSTROKE, SMG$READ_STRING, and SMG$READ_VERIFY in the word-
   terminator-code argument.
 

key-name

   OpenVMS usage:char_string
   type:         character string
   access:       write only
   mechanism:    by descriptor

   String containing the name of the key into which key-code is
   to be translated. The key-name argument is the address of a
   descriptor pointing to the character string containing the key
   name. The key-name argument is simply the name of the key (for
   example, COMMA, PERIOD, KP4, and so forth).
