XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3)   XKB FUNCTIONS   XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3)



NAME
       XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  - Gets the current attributes of the
       RepeatKeys control for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbGetAutoRepeatRate (  display,  device_spec,  time-
       out_rtrn, interval_rtrn )
             Display * display ;
             unsigned int  device_spec ;
             unsigned int * timeout_rtrn ;
             unsigned int * interval_rtrn ;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
              connection to X server

       - device_spec
              desired device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - timeout_rtrn
              backfilled with initial repeat delay, ms

       - interval_rtrn
              backfilled with subsequent repeat delay, ms

DESCRIPTION
       The  core protocol allows only control over whether or not
       the entire keyboard or individual keys should  auto-repeat
       when  held  down.  RepeatKeys  is  a  boolean control that
       extends this capability by adding control over  the  delay
       until  a  key  begins  to  repeat and the rate at which it
       repeats. RepeatKeys is coupled with the  core  auto-repeat
       control:  when RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the core
       auto-repeat is enabled or disabled and vice versa.

       Auto-repeating keys are controlled by two attributes.  The
       first, timeout, is the delay after the initial press of an
       auto-repeating key and the first generated  repeat  event.
       The  second, interval, is the delay between all subsequent
       generated repeat events. As  with  all  boolean  controls,
       configuring  the attributes that determine how the control
       operates does not automatically enable the  control  as  a
       whole.

       XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  queries  the  server for the current
       values of the RepeatControls control attributes, backfills
       timeout_rtrn  and  interval_rtrn  with  them,  and returns
       True. If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is  not
       available   in  the  server  XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  returns
       False.

RETURN VALUES
       True           The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  function  returns
                      True  if  a  compatible  version of the Xkb
                      extension is available in the server.

       False          The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  function  returns
                      False  if  a  compatible version of the Xkb
                      extension is not available in the server.
