NAME

       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions - Queries the current StickyKeys attributes for
       a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS

       Bool   XkbGetStickyKeysOptions   (Display   *display,   unsigned    int
              device_spec, unsigned int *options_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - display
              connection to X server

       - device_spec
              device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - options_rtrn
              backfilled with StickyKeys option mask

DESCRIPTION

       The  StickyKeys  control  has  two options that can be accessed via the
       ax_options of an XkbControlsRec structure. The first  option,  TwoKeys,
       specifies  whether  StickyKeys  should  automatically turn off when two
       keys are pressed at the same time. This feature is  useful  for  shared
       computers so people who do not want them do not need to turn StickyKeys
       off  if  a  previous  user  left  StickyKeys  on.  The  second  option,
       LatchToLock,  specifies whether or not StickyKeys locks a modifier when
       pressed twice in a row.

       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions  requests  the  attributes  of  the  StickyKeys
       control  from the server, waits for a reply, and backfills options_rtrn
       with a mask indicating whether the individual StickyKeys options are on
       or off. Valid bits in options_rtrn are:

            XkbAX_TwoKeysMask
            XkbAX_LatchToLockMask

       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions  returns  True  if  successful; if a compatible
       version  of  the  Xkb  extension  is  not  available  in   the   server
       XkbGetStickyKeysOptions returns False.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The XkbGetStickyKeysOptions function returns True if the
                      request for the attributes  of  the  StickyKeys  control
                      from the server was successful.

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