Synopsis

int *timeout_return, *interval_return;
int *prefer_blanking_return;
int *allow_exposures_return;

Arguments

displaySpecifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay(). 

timeout_return
Returns the idle time, in seconds, until the screen saver turns on.

interval_return
Returns the interval between screen saver invocations, in seconds.

prefer_blanking_return
Returns the current screen blanking preference, one of these constants:  DontPreferBlanking, PreferBlanking, or DefaultBlanking. 

allow_exposures_return
Returns the current screen save control value, either DontAllowExposures, AllowExposures, or DefaultExposures. 

Description

XGetScreenSaver() returns the current settings of the screen saver, which may be set with XSetScreenSaver().  A positive timeout_return indicates that the screen saver is enabled.  A timeout_return of zero indicates that the screen saver is disabled.  If the server-dependent screen saver method supports periodic change, interval_return serves as a hint about the length of the change period, and zero serves as a hint that no periodic change will be made.  An interval_return of zero indicates that random pattern motion is disabled.  For more information on the screen saver, see Volume One, Chapter 13, Other Programming Techniques.
