okay bestie, welcome to XVaCreateNestedList(3), straight out of XLIB FUNCTIONS 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

XVaCreateNestedList — allocate a nested variable argument list 🎀

✨ SYNTAX ✨

typedef void * XVaNestedList;

XVaNestedList XVaCreateNestedList(int dummy, ...);

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • dummy — specifies an unused argument (required by ANSI C). it's literally just there because ANSI C said so, no cap 🙈
  • ... — specifies the variable length argument list. the actual little stack of args 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the XVaCreateNestedList function allocates memory and copies its arguments into a single list pointer, which may be used as a value for arguments requiring a list value. Any entries are copied as specified. ✨

bestie warning 🚨 data passed by reference is not copied; the caller must ensure data remains valid for the lifetime of the nested list. like, keep that data alive, fr fr 😭

The list should be freed using XFree when it is no longer needed. cleanup arc, periodt 🧚💖
