XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3)          XKB FUNCTIONS         XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3)

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.
