\fn uint32 modifiers()
\brief Gets a bitmap of each modifier key pressed down and each active
keyboard lock.
Test the bitmap returned using a bit mask composed of the following
modifier key constants:
- \c B_CAPS_LOCK
- \c B_COMMAND_KEY
- \c B_CONTROL_KEY
- \c B_MENU_KEY
- \c B_NUM_LOCK
- \c B_OPTION_KEY
- \c B_SCROLL_LOCK
- \c B_SHIFT_KEY
You may use a bit mask of 0 to test that no modifier keys are pressed.
If it is important to know if the left or right modifier key is pressed
down you can use the following additional constants:
- \c B_LEFT_SHIFT_KEY
- \c B_RIGHT_SHIFT_KEY
- \c B_LEFT_CONTROL_KEY
- \c B_RIGHT_CONTROL_KEY
- \c B_LEFT_OPTION_KEY
- \c B_RIGHT_OPTION_KEY
- \c B_LEFT_COMMAND_KEY
- \c B_RIGHT_COMMAND_KEY
\returns A bitmap containing each active modifier keys and locks.

/*!
\fn void set_keyboard_locks(uint32 modifiers)
\brief Set the keyboard locks.
Pass in a bit mask containing the following constants:
- \c B_CAPS_LOCK
- \c B_NUM_LOCK
- \c B_SCROLL_LOCK
The constants present in the bit mask will turn the lock on, those
absent will turn the lock off. Pass 0 in to turn off all locks.
\param modifiers A bitmap of lock keys to set.
