autoKeyframe([characterOption=string],
[noReset=boolean], [state=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
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.

state(st) |
boolean |
   |
|
turns on/off remembering of modified attributes |
|
noReset(nr) |
boolean |
|
|
Must be used in conjunction with the state/st flag. When
noReset/nr is specified, the list of plugs to be autokeyed is not
cleared when the state changes |
|
characterOption(co) |
string |
|
|
Valid options are: "standard", "all". Dictates whether when
auto-keying characters the auto-key works as usual or whether it
keys all of the character attributes. Default is "standard". |
