Library Functions Manual ✨ section 3, bestie, we're in the library functions girlies now 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

DMXRemoveScreen — detach a back-end screen 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>

Bool DMXRemoveScreen(Display *dpy,
                     int screen);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so DMXRemoveScreen() detaches the back-end screen from the Xdmx(1) server. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "bye bestie, you're off the team" 💅

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

DMXRemoveScreen() returns True on success 💖 and False when things are NOT giving. and like, it returns False in several situations, so let's list them because the way that this function is picky is lowkey iconic:

• there were protocol errors 😭
• the -addremovescreens command-line option was not specified on the Xdmx(1) command line 🙈 (fr fr, if you didn't opt in, she's not doing it)
• the value of screen is out of range 💀
• the back-end screen specified by screen has already been detached 👻

bestie if you get False, check that list top to bottom before you spiral, no cap 🫶
