NAME

XkbGetAccessXTimeout − Queries the current AccessXTimeout options for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS

Bool XkbGetAccessXTimeout

(Display *display, unsigned int device_spec,

unsigned short *timeout_rtrn, unsigned int *ctrls_mask_rtrn, unsigned int *ctrls_values_rtrn, unsigned short *options_mask_rtrn, unsigned short *options_values_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

− display

unsigned short

− device_spec

device to query, or XkbUseCoreKbd

− timeout_rtrn

delay until AccessXTimeout, seconds

− ctrls_mask_rtrn

backfilled with controls to modify

− ctrls_values_rtrn

backfilled with on/off status for controls

− options_mask_rtrn

backfilled with ax_options to modify

− options_values_rtrn

backfilled with values for ax_options

DESCRIPTION

In environments where computers are shared, features such as SlowKeys present a problem: if SlowKeys is on, the keyboard can appear to be unresponsive because keys are not accepted until they are held for a certain period of time. To help solve this problem, Xkb provides an AccessXTimeout control to automatically change the enabled/disabled state of any boolean controls and to change the value of the AccessXKeys and AccessXFeedback control attributes if the keyboard is idle for a specified period of time.

When a timeout as specified by AccessXTimeout occurs and a control is consequently modified, Xkb generates an XkbControlsNotify event.

XkbGetAccessXTimeout sends a request to the X server to obtain the current values for the AccessXTimeout attributes, waits for a reply, and backfills the values into the appropriate arguments. The parameters options_mask_rtrn and options_values_rtrn are backfilled with the options to modify and the values for ax_options, which is a field in the XkbControlsRec structure. XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns True if successful; if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns False.

RETURN VALUES

True

The XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns True when it successfully sends a request to the X server to obtain the current values for the AccessXTimeout attributes, waits for a reply, and backfills the values into the appropriate arguments.

False

The XkbGetAccessXTimeout funtion returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server.
