How to determine current keyboard layout?

Hi,

I could not find a way to determine the current keyboard layout on Linux. I
need to do some conditional handling for Vietnamese keyboard input.

Is there an API that I can use (any generic Linux API). I want something in
line with the Win32 API called "GetKeyboardLayout()".

Thanks,

Gaurav
