XKB FUNCTIONS                             XkbLatchModifiers(3x11)



NAME
     XkbLatchModifiers -  Latches and unlatches any of the  eight
     real keyboard modifiers

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

     Bool  XkbLatchModifiers  (Display  *display,  unsigned   int
          device_spec, unsigned int affect, unsigned int values);

ARGUMENTS
     display
          connection to the X server

     device_spec
          device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

     affect
          mask of real modifiers whose lock state is to change

     values
          1 => lock, 0 => unlock; only for modifiers selected  by
          affect

DESCRIPTION
     XkbLatchModifiers sends a request to the server to latch the
     real  modifiers  selected  by  both affect and values and to
     unlatch the real modifiers selected  by  affect  ,  but  not
     selected by values.

     XkbLatchModifiers does not wait for a reply from the server.
     It  returns  True  if the request was sent, and False other-
     wise.

     The functions in this section that change the use of  modif-
     iers  use  a  mask  in the parameter affect. It is a bitwise
     inclusive OR of the legal modifier masks:
