XkbGetAutoResetControls(3)					   XKB FUNCTIONS					XkbGetAutoResetControls(3)

NAME

       XkbGetAutoResetControls - Gets the current values of the auto-reset controls

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy
	       connection to X server

       - auto_ctrls
	       specifies which bits in auto_values are relevant

       - auto_values
	      1 bit => corresponding control has auto-reset on

DESCRIPTION

       You  can configure the boolean controls to automatically be enabled or disabled when a program exits. This capability is controlled via two
       masks maintained in the X server on a per-client basis. There is no client-side Xkb data structure corresponding to these  masks.  Whenever
       the  client  exits  for any reason, any boolean controls specified in the auto-reset mask are set to the corresponding value from the auto-
       reset values mask. This makes it possible for clients to "clean up after themselves" automatically, even if abnormally terminated. The bits
       used in the masks correspond to the EnabledControls control bits.

       For example, a client that replaces the keyboard bell with some other audible cue might want to turn off the AudibleBell control to prevent
       the server from also generating a sound and avoid cacophony. If the client were to exit without resetting the AudibleBell control, the user
       would  be left without any feedback at all. Setting AudibleBell in both the auto-reset mask and auto-reset values guarantees that the audi-
       ble bell will be turned back on when the client exits.

       XkbGetAutoResetControls backfills auto_ctrls and auto_values with the AutoReset control attributes for this particular client.  It  returns
       True if successful, and False otherwise.

RETURN VALUES

       True	      The XkbGetAutoResetControls function returns True when it successfully backfills auto_ctrls and auto_values with the AutoRe-
		      set control attributes for this particular client.

       False	      The XkbGetAutoResetControls function returns False when it does not successfully backfill auto_ctrls  and  auto_values  with
		      the AutoReset control attributes for this particular client.
