NAME

       XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  -  Gets  the  current  attributes  of  the  RepeatKeys control for a
       keyboard device

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  (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 initial 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.
