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, timeout_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 ini-tial initial
       tial 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.
