XKB FUNCTIONS                          XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3x11)



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

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     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.  Repeat-
     Keys  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 gen-
     erated repeat events. As with all boolean  controls,  confi-
     guring   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 avail-
     able in the server XkbGetAutoRepeatRate returns False.

RETURN VALUES
     True           The  XkbGetAutoRepeatRate  function   returns
                    True  if  a  compatible  version  of  the Xkb
