XkbGetStickyKeysOptions(3)                      XKB FUNCTIONS                     XkbGetStickyKeysOptions(3)



NAME
       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions - Queries the current StickyKeys attributes for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbGetStickyKeysOptions ( display, device_spec, options_rtrn )
             Display *display;
             unsigned int device_spec;
             unsigned int *options_rtrn;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
              connection to X server

       - device_spec
              device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - options_rtrn
              backfilled with StickyKeys option mask

DESCRIPTION
       The  StickyKeys  control has two options that can be accessed via the ax_options of an XkbControlsRec
       structure. The first option, TwoKeys, specifies whether StickyKeys should automatically turn off when
       two  keys  are pressed at the same time. This feature is useful for shared computers so people who do
       not want them do not need to turn StickyKeys off if a previous user left StickyKeys  on.  The  second
       option,  LatchToLock,  specifies  whether  or not StickyKeys locks a modifier when pressed twice in a
       row.

       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions requests the attributes of the StickyKeys control from the server, waits  for
       a  reply, and backfills options_rtrn with a mask indicating whether the individual StickyKeys options
       are on or off. Valid bits in options_rtrn are:

            XkbAX_TwoKeysMask
            XkbAX_LatchToLockMask

       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions returns True if successful; if a compatible version of the Xkb  extension  is
       not available in the server XkbGetStickyKeysOptions returns False.

RETURN VALUES
       True           The XkbGetStickyKeysOptions function returns True if the request for the attributes of
                      the StickyKeys control from the server was successful.

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

STRUCTURES
       The XkbControlsRec structure is defined as follows:

           #define XkbMaxLegalKeyCode     255
           #define XkbPerKeyBitArraySize  ((XkbMaxLegalKeyCode+1)/8)

           typedef struct {

               XkbModsRec      ignore_lock;      /* modifiers to ignore when checking for grab */
               unsigned int    enabled_ctrls;    /* 1 bit => corresponding boolean control enabled */

               unsigned char   per_key_repeat[XkbPerKeyBitArraySize];  /* per key auto repeat */
            } XkbControlsRec, *XkbControlsPtr;
