okay bestie, welcome to the DMXGetInputCount page from the Library Functions Manual 💅 she's a libdmx girlie, she's niche, she's iconic, and she's about to tell you how many input devices are vibing on your Xdmx(1) server 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

DMXGetInputCount — figure out how many input devices there are 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>

Bool DMXGetInputCount(Display *dpy,
                      int *input_count);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so DMXGetInputCount() does the thing where it counts up all the input devices connected to the Xdmx(1) server, and it drops that number into input_count. no cap. 🔥

and here's the slay: that number is the same one you'd get from XListInputDevices(3), except DMXGetInputCount() still works even when the XInput extension isn't supported 😌 literally available when the other one can't show up. main character energy fr fr.

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

DMXGetInputCount() returns True... unless there's a protocol error 💀 then it does not. that's it, that's the rule.
