Library to convert keycode to keysym at linux console

Using evdev (the kernel interface, not the X driver), I can listen for keyboard events and get keycodes. Is there a library interface to convert those to keysyms (again, those set by loadkeys, not xmodmap)?

Do not know any library can do that.

Maybe you want to take a look of the dumpkeys source, special the codetoksym() function. You can checkout the kbd (dumpkeys is part of it) source by the following command:

git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/legion/kbd.git
