XpGetScreenOfContext(3Xp)

📦 version 1.0.4, in arch rolling, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable, opensuse-leap 16.0

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the XpGetScreenOfContext(3Xp) page from the XPRINT FUNCTIONS crew 💖. This function literally obtains a pointer to the screen associated with the specified print context. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]
#include <X11/extensions/Print.h>

Screen *XpGetScreenOfContext ( display, print_context )
      Display *display;
      XPContext print_context;

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • display — a pointer to the Display structure; this is the one returned from XOpenDisplay, bestie 🫶.
  • print_context — a pre-existing print context. plot twist: this argument is currently ignored 🙈, but it still must be specified. yes, mandatory even though it's lowkey doing nothing rn.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so XpGetScreenOfContext returns the screen that is associated with the current print context of display. It's giving “which screen are we on?” but for your X resources ✨.

This call must be made after XpSetContext to determine which specific screen other X resources must be created on. periodt.

Each printer supported by a print server is associated with exactly one of the screens returned in the connection setup reply. iykyk 💅.

This function returns NULL if it failed to get the screen. so yeah, check that pointer, fr fr 😭.

💅 DIAGNOSTICS 💅

  • XPBadContext — A valid print context-id has not been set prior to making this call. that's the error tea 🍓.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • XpSetContext(3Xp) — go set that context first, bestie 🫶.

Final sign-off: this page is serving X Version 11 and libXp 1.0.4 energy, and the footer has no separate date line to spill — so consider this your cute timestamp-free sign-off 💜🦋.
