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 handled. 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 glutGetModifiers.

       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.
