glutGetModifiers(3GLUT) GLUT glutGetModifiers(3GLUT)

NAME
glutGetModifiers - returns the modifier key state when
certain callbacks were generated.

SYNTAX
int glutGetModifiers(void);

DESCRIPTION
glutGetModifiers returns the modifier key state at the
time the input event for a keyboard, special, or mouse
callback is generated. This routine may only be called
while a keyboard, special, or mouse callback is being han-
dled. The window system is permitted to intercept window
system defined modifier key strokes or mouse buttons, in
which case, no GLUT callback will be generated. This
interception will be independent of use of glutGetModi-
fiers.

The bitmask components of the returned integer value are:

GLUT_ACTIVE_SHIFT
Set if the Shift modifier or Caps Lock is active.

GLUT_ACTIVE_CTRL
Set if the Ctrl modifier is active.

GLUT_ACTIVE_ALT
Set if the Alt modifier is active.
