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 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.
