XGetXCBConnection(3)

✨ XGetXCBConnection ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the XLIB FUNCTIONS family (that's the manual section it's chillin' in) and it's literally called XGetXCBConnection — say that three times fast, i dare you 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

XGetXCBConnection — grab the XCB connection that goes with an Xlib Display 🦋

---

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <X11/Xlib-xcb.h>

xcb_connection_t *XGetXCBConnection(Display *dpy);

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• dpy — specifies the connection to the X server. that's the Xlib Display you're handing over, the one you want the matching XCB connection for 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, the XGetXCBConnection function returns the XCB connection associated with an Xlib Display. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 💅

and here's the slay part: clients can use this XCB connection with functions from the XCB library, just as they would with an XCB connection created with XCB. same energy, same vibes, no cap 🧚

okay but listen, there's a catch and it's giving prerequisites: callers of this function must link to libX11-xcb and a version of Xlib built with XCB support. no linky, no conn-y, bestie 😭
