XkbSetAutoResetControls(3)					   XKB FUNCTIONS					XkbSetAutoResetControls(3)

NAME

       XkbSetAutoResetControls - Changes the current values of the AutoReset control attributes

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetAutoResetControls ( dpy, changes, auto_ctrls, auto_values )
	     Display * dpy ;
	     unsigned int  changes ;
	     unsigned int * auto_ctrls ;
	     unsigned int * auto_values ;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - changes
	      controls for which to change auto-reset values

       - auto_ctrls
	      controls from changes that should auto reset

       - auto_values
	      1 bit => auto-reset on

DESCRIPTION

       XkbSetAutoResetControls	changes the auto-reset status and associated auto-reset values for the controls selected by changes.  For any con-
       trol selected by changes, if the corresponding bit is set in auto_ctrls, the control is configured to auto-reset when the client exits.	If
       the  corresponding  bit	in  auto_values is on, the control is turned on when the client exits; if zero, the control is turned off when the
       client exits. For any control selected by changes, if the corresponding bit is not set in auto_ctrls, the  control  is  configured  to  not
       reset when the client exits.

       For example:

       To leave the auto-reset controls for StickyKeys the way they are:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, 0, 0, 0);

       To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are unaffected when the
       client exits:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0, 0);

       To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned off when the
       client exits:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0);

       To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned on when the
       client exits:

	    ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask,
       XkbStickyKeysMask);

       XkbSetAutoResetControls	backfills auto_ctrls and auto_values with the auto-reset controls for this particular client. Note that all of the
       bits are valid in the returned values, not just the ones selected in the changes mask.
