Generating keypresses on Linux

I was trying to simulate keypress events for some javascript based webpage - actually it was typing the whole alphabet - and I came up with the following code, using Xlib:

#include X11/extensions/XTest.h
#define XK_LATIN1
#define XK_MISCELLANY
#define XK_XKB_KEYS
#include X11/keysymdef.h
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include sys/time.h

//notice that libraries are lacking < > because of html tags
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Display* pDisplay = XOpenDisplay( ":0.0" );

KeySym key[] = { XK_a,XK_b,XK_c,XK_d,XK_e,
XK_f,XK_g,XK_h,XK_i,XK_j,
XK_k,XK_l,XK_m,XK_n,XK_o,
XK_p,XK_q,XK_r,XK_s,XK_t,
XK_u,XK_v,XK_w,XK_x,XK_y,
XK_z};

system("sleep 4");
int i;
for( i = 0; i < 26; i++ )
{
XTestFakeKeyEvent ( pDisplay, XKeysymToKeycode( pDisplay, key[i] ),
True, 0 );
XTestFakeKeyEvent ( pDisplay, XKeysymToKeycode( pDisplay, key[i] ),
False, 0 );
}

if( pDisplay == NULL ) return 1;

XCloseDisplay(pDisplay);
return 0;
}

In order to compile it, just run:

gcc generateKeys.c -lX11 -lXtst

I hope it helps!
