/**
 * @page compose-overview Overview
 * @parblock
 *
 * Compose and dead-keys are a common feature of many keyboard input
 * systems.  They extend the range of the keysysm that can be produced
 * directly from a keyboard by using a sequence of key strokes, instead
 * of just one.
 *
 * Here are some example sequences, in the libX11 Compose file format:
 *
 *     <dead_acute> <a>         : "á"   aacute # LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
 *     <Multi_key> <A> <T>      : "@"   at     # COMMERCIAL AT
 *
 * When the user presses a key which produces the `<dead_acute>` keysym,
 * nothing initially happens (thus the key is dubbed a "dead-key").  But
 * when the user enters `<a>`, "á" is "composed", in place of "a".  If
 * instead the user had entered a keysym which does not follow
 * `<dead_acute>` in any compose sequence, the sequence is said to be
 * "cancelled".
 *
 * Compose files define many such sequences.  For a description of the
 * common file format for Compose files, see the Compose(5) man page.
 *
 * A successfuly-composed sequence has two results: a keysym and a UTF-8
 * string.  At least one of the two is defined for each sequence.  If only
 * a keysym is given, the keysym's string representation is used for the
 * result string (using xkb_keysym_to_utf8()).
 *
 * This library provides low-level support for Compose file parsing and
 * processing.  Higher-level APIs (such as libX11's `Xutf8LookupString`(3))
 * may be built upon it, or it can be used directly.
 *
 * @endparblock
 */

/**
 * @page compose-conflicting Conflicting Sequences
 * @parblock
 *
 * To avoid ambiguity, a sequence is not allowed to be a prefix of another.
 * In such a case, the conflict is resolved thus:
 *
 * 1. A longer sequence overrides a shorter one.
 * 2. An equal sequence overrides an existing one.
 * 3. A shorter sequence does not override a longer one.
 *
 * Sequences of length 1 are allowed.
 *
 * @endparblock
 */

/**
 * @page compose-cancellation Cancellation Behavior
 * @parblock
 *
 * What should happen when a sequence is cancelled?  For example, consider
 * there are only the above sequences, and the input keysyms are
 * `<dead_acute> <b>`.  There are a few approaches:
 *
 * 1. Swallow the cancelling keysym; that is, no keysym is produced.
 *    This is the approach taken by libX11.
 * 2. Let the cancelling keysym through; that is, `<b>` is produced.
 * 3. Replay the entire sequence; that is, `<dead_acute> <b>` is produced.
 *    This is the approach taken by Microsoft Windows (approximately;
 *    instead of `<dead_acute>`, the underlying key is used.  This is
 *    difficult to simulate with XKB keymaps).
 *
 * You can program whichever approach best fits users' expectations.

/**
 * @page compose-locale Compose Locale
 * @parblock
 *
 * Compose files are locale dependent:
 * - Compose files are written for a locale, and the locale is used when
 *   searching for the appropriate file to use.
 * - Compose files may reference the locale internally, with directives
 *   such as \%L.
 *
 * As such, functions like xkb_compose_table_new_from_locale() require
 * a `locale` parameter.  This will usually be the current locale (see
 * locale(7) for more details).  You may also want to allow the user to
 * explicitly configure it, so he can use the Compose file of a given
 * locale, but not use that locale for other things.
 *
 * You may query the current locale as follows:
 * @code
 *     const char *locale;
 *     locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL);
 * @endcode
 *
 * This will only give useful results if the program had previously set
 * the current locale using setlocale(3), with `LC_CTYPE` or `LC_ALL`
 * and a non-NULL argument.
 *
 * If you prefer not to use the locale system of the C runtime library,
 * you may nevertheless obtain the user's locale directly using
 * environment variables, as described in locale(7).  For example,
 * @code
 *     const char *locale;
 *     locale = getenv("LC_ALL");
 *     if (!locale || !*locale)
 *         locale = getenv("LC_CTYPE");
 *     if (!locale || !*locale)
 *         locale = getenv("LANG");
 *     if (!locale || !*locale)
 *         locale = "C";
 * @endcode
 *
 * Note that some locales supported by the C standard library may not
 * have a Compose file assigned.
 *
 * @endparblock
 */

/**
 * Create a compose table for a given locale.
 *
 * The locale is used for searching the file-system for an appropriate
 * Compose file.  The search order is described in Compose(5).  It is
 * affected by the following environment variables:
 *
 * 1. `XCOMPOSEFILE` - see Compose(5).
 * 2. `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` - before `$HOME/.XCompose` is checked,
 *    `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XCompose` is checked (with a fall back to
 *    `$HOME/.config/XCompose` if `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is not defined).
 *    This is a libxkbcommon extension to the search procedure in
 *    Compose(5) (since libxkbcommon 1.0.0). Note that other
 *    implementations, such as libX11, might not find a Compose file in
 *    this path.
 * 3. `HOME` - see Compose(5).
 * 4. `XLOCALEDIR` - if set, used as the base directory for the system's
 *    X locale files, e.g. `/usr/share/X11/locale`, instead of the
 *    preconfigured directory.

 *     The value is copied, so it is safe to pass the result of getenv(3)
 *     (or similar) without fear of it being invalidated by a subsequent
 *     setenv(3) (or similar).
