+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.TP
+.I \- dpy
+ connection to X server
+.TP
+.I \- auto_ctrls
+ specifies which bits in auto_values are relevant
+.TP
+.I \- auto_values
+1 bit => corresponding control has auto-reset on
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+You can configure the boolean controls to automatically be enabled or
+disabled when a program exits. This capability is controlled via two masks
+maintained in the X server on a per-client basis. There is no client-side Xkb
+data structure corresponding to these masks. Whenever the client exits for
+any reason, any boolean controls specified in the
+.I auto-reset mask
+are set to the corresponding value from the
+.I auto-reset values
+mask. This makes it
+possible for clients to "clean up after themselves" automatically, even if
+abnormally terminated. The bits used in the masks correspond to the
+EnabledControls control bits.
+
+For example, a client that replaces the keyboard bell with some other audible
+cue might want to turn off the AudibleBell control to prevent the server from
+also generating a sound and avoid cacophony. If the client were to exit
+without resetting the AudibleBell control, the user would be left without any
+feedback at all. Setting AudibleBell in both the auto-reset mask and
+auto-reset values guarantees that the audible bell will be turned back on
+when the client exits.
+
+.I XkbGetAutoResetControls
+backfills
+.I auto_ctrls
+and
+.I auto_values
+with the AutoReset control attributes for this particular client. It returns
+True if successful, and False otherwise.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 15
+True
+The
+.I XkbGetAutoResetControls
+function returns True when it successfully backfills
+.I auto_ctrls
+and
+.I auto_values
+with the AutoReset control attributes for this particular client.
+.TP 15
+False
+The
+.I XkbGetAutoResetControls
+function returns False when it does not successfully backfill
+.I auto_ctrls
+and
+.I auto_values
+with the AutoReset control attributes for this particular client.
