XkbGetAccessXTimeout(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetAccessXTimeout(3)NAMEXkbGetAccessXTimeout - 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 cur‐
rent 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 avail‐
able in the server, XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns False.
RETURN VALUES
True The XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns True when it success‐
fully sends a request to the X server to obtain the cur‐
rent 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 com‐
patible version of the Xkb extension is not available in
the server.
