xproto recently has been extended with 2 new keysyms:
XF86XK_MonBrightnessCycle
XF86XK_RotationLockToggle
This commit is the result of running "scripts/update-keysyms" on a system
with the updated xproto installed.

These can be useful in some odd cases.
There is already an implementation (+ tests) for internal use, so all
that's needed is to export them.
If xkbcommon were to provide a way to convert a Unicode codepoint to a
keysym, this could have been implemented externally as follows:
uint32_t codepoint = xkb_keysym_to_utf32(keysym);
uint32_t upper_codepoint = my_unicode_library_to_upper(codepoint);
xkb_keysym_t upper_keysym = theoretical_xkb_keysym_from_utf32(upper_codepoint);
However keysym -> codepoint is not injective so such a function is not
possible strictly speaking.

The previous code would cause failures to find the Compose file if one
of the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG are set to the
empty string.
The description of the fallback procedure in loclale(7) talks about
"non-null environment variable"; I interpreted this to mean the
environment variable is unset, but it actually means unset or empty (I
verified this by looking at what glibc and musl do).
A recent bug in systemd https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6407
exposed this issue. It causes these these variables to be set to the
empty string in TTY sessions.

A bit more manageable this way, and the other part of the target is
already using python.
The output is the same, except I removed the reference to Makefile.am.

See the NOTES section of getenv(3). Somewhat obscure but it doesn't hurt

The current functions dealing with consumed modifiers use the
traditional XKB definition of consumed modifiers (see description in the
added documentation). However, for several users of the library (e.g.
GTK) this definition is unsuitable or too eager. This is exacerbated by
some less-than-ideal xkeyboard-config type definitions (CTRL+ALT seems
to cause most grief...).
So, because we
- want to enable alternative interpretations, but
- don't want to expose too much internal details, and
- want to keep things simple for all library users,
we add a high-level "mode" parameter which selects the desired
interpretation. New ones can be added as long as they make some sense.
All of the old consumed-modifiers functions keep using the traditional
("XKB") mode. I mark xkb_state_mod_mask_remove_consumed() and as
deprecated without adding a *2 variant because I don't it is very useful
(or used) in practice.
Alternative modes are added in subsequent commits (this commit only adds
a mode for the existing behavior).

xkb_keymap_key_by_name() allows finding a keycode from a given keyname and
is useful for generating keyboard events to use in regression tests
during CI
xkb_keymap_key_get_name() is the inverse of xkb_keymap_key_by_name()

xkbcommon-compose is a Compose implementation for xkbcommon. It mostly
behaves like libX11's Compose, but the support is somewhat low-level and
is not transparent like in libX11. The user must add some supporting code
in order to utilize it.
The intended audience are users who use xkbcommon but not a full-blown
input method. With this they can add Compose support in a straightforward
manner, so they have a fairly complete keyboard input for Latin-like
languages at least.
See the header documentation for details.

These functions generally have the same effect as
xkb_state_key_get_syms() + xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}().
So why add them?
- They provide a slightly nicer interface, especially if the string is
the only interest.
- It makes the handling of multiple-keysyms-to-utf8 transparent. For the
designated use-case of multiple-keysyms (unicode combining
characters), this is a must. We also validate the UTF-8, which the
user might not otherwise do.
- We will need to apply some transformation on the resulting string
which depend on the xkb_state. This is not possible with the
xkb_keysym_* functions.
With these functions, the existing xkb_keysym_to_utf{8,32}() are not
expected to be used by a typical user; they are "raw" functions.

There are valid reasons to use the other keymap-creation functions, if
one needs them. On the other hand, if one is supposed to use RMLVO, it
is more or less the only choice, so the comment is not needed in this
case as well.

This retrieves the mask of consumed modifiers for a given key and state,
which is helpful for toolkits without having them to do it one modifier
at a time, or pass in 0xFFFFFFFF to xkb_state_remove_consumed_mods to
"reverse-engineer" the consumed mods.
The PLACEHOLDER was not meant to be used, but c++ doesn't like passing 0
to enums, so it was used. For this reason we add all the NO_FLAGS items,
so the PLACEHOLDER shouldn't be used anymore.
Second, XKB_MAP is the prefix we used ages ago, KEYMAP is the expected
prefix here. So deprecate that as well.
The old names may still be used through the xkbcommon-compat.h header,
which is included by default (no need to include directly).

These are function to create an xkb_keymap directly from XKB requests
to the X server. This opens up the possibility for X clients to use
xcb + xcb-xkb + xkbcommon as a proper replacement for Xlib + xkbfile for
keyboard support.
The X11 support must be enabled with --enable-x11 for now.
The functions are in xkbcommon/xkbcommon-x11.h. It depends on a recent
libxcb with xkb enabled. The functions are in a new libxkbcommon-x11.so,
with a new pkg-config file, etc. so that the packages may be split, and
libxkbcommon.so itself remains dependency-free.
Why not just use the RMLVO that the server puts in the _XKB_RULES_NAMES
property? This does not account for custom keymaps, on-the-fly keymap
modifications, remote clients, etc., so is not a proper solution in
practice. Also, some servers don't even set it. Now, the client just
needs to recreate the keymap in response to a change in the server's
keymap (as Xlib clients do with XRefreshKeyboardMapping() and friends).

For most functions taking an enum flags parameter, we use 0 value to
indicate that no flags should be applied.
C++ has a stronger type system than C and will not implicitly convert
int's to enum's. Thus, we create valid 0 enum values for enum types
where it makes sense.
