autoKeyframe [-characterOption string]
[-noReset] [-state boolean]
autoKeyframe is undoable, queryable, and editable.
With no flags, this command will set keyframes on all attributes
that have been modified since an "autoKeyframe -state on" command
was issued. To stop keeping track of modified attributes, use
"autoKeyframe -state off" autoKeyframe does not create new
animation curves. An attribute must have already been keyframed
(with the setKeyframe command) for autoKeyframe to add new
keyframes for modified attributes. You can also query the current
state of autoKeyframing with "autoKeyframe -query -state".

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
