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  audible
       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 AutoReset control attributes for this particuā€
		      lar 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.
