XdbeDeallocateBackBufferName(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XdbeDeallocateBackBufferName — bestie, this one frees a DBE buffer. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <X11/extensions/Xdbe.h>

Status XdbeDeallocateBackBufferName(
    Display        *dpy,
    XdbeBackBuffer buffer)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: you already grabbed yourself a buffer with XdbeAllocateBackBufferName() (iconic move, love that for you), and now you're done with it and you want to give it back. that's literally what this function does — it frees a drawable ID, buffer, that was obtained via XdbeAllocateBackBufferName().

but listen 👑 — the buffer you hand over has to be a valid name for the back buffer of a window. if it isn't? a protocol error results. no cap, it will not be cute about it. 😭

so like, don't just throw any random ID in there and hope for the best. vibe check your buffer first. 🫶

💀 ERRORS 💀

• BadBuffer — the specified buffer is not associated with a window. she said "who? never met her" 🙈
