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.
