XtDisplayStri...ersionWarning(3)

💖 XtDisplayStringConversionWarning(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about a lil function from the XT FUNCTIONS fam, and it's literally the most polite snitch in the whole toolkit. it's called XtDisplayStringConversionWarning, and yes the manpage header truncates it to XtDisplayStri...ersionWarning(3) because apparently even manpage headers have a character limit, rude.

✨ NAME ✨

XtDisplayStringConversionWarning — issue a conversion warning message 🫶

---

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

void XtDisplayStringConversionWarning(Display* display, const char
       *from_value, const char *to_type);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• display — the display connection that this whole conversion sitch is associated with. it's giving "which screen are we even talking about" energy.
• from_value — the string that could not be converted 😭 poor thing. this is the one that didn't make it.
• to_type — the target representation type that was requested. aka the glow-up that from_value was supposed to achieve but did not.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea. the XtDisplayStringConversionWarning function issues a warning message using XtAppWarningMsg with name "conversionError", type "string", class "XtToolkitError", and the default message string "Cannot convert "from_value" to type to_type".

that's it. that's the whole job. it just announces to the world that your conversion did not slay. no cap.

and if you, a type converter, wanna issue other types of warning or error messages — like, different flavors of drama — you should use XtAppWarningMsg or XtAppErrorMsg instead. those are the bigger siblings, they got range. 🔥

bestie note: this is literally just a convenience wrapper, so don't come for it expecting it to convert anything for you. it warns. that's the assignment. periodt.
