Description

XGetKeyboardControl() returns the current control values for the keyboard.  For the LEDs (light emitting diodes), the least significant bit of led_mask corresponds to LED 1, and each bit that is set to 1 in led_mask indicates an LED that is lit.  auto_repeats is a bit vector; each bit that is set to 1 indicates that auto-repeat is enabled for the corresponding key.  The vector is represented as 32 bytes.  Byte N (from 0) contains the bits for keys 8N to 8N+7, with the least significant bit in the byte representing key 8N.  global_auto_repeat is either AutoRepeatModeOn or AutoRepeatModeOff.  For the ranges of each member of XKeyboardState(), see the description of XChangePointerControl().  For more information, see Volume One, Chapter 9, The Keyboard and Pointer.
