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.
