💅 NAME 💅

xcb_colormap_notify_event_t — the colormap for some window changed

Ok so bestie, quick vibe check: this page is from the XCB Events manual (that's the manual name, don't @ me), and it's all about one very specific little event struct. It's giving "your window's colormap just got messed with" energy. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

🦋 Event datastructure 🦋

typedef struct xcb_colormap_notify_event_t {
    uint8_t        response_type;
    uint8_t        pad0;
    uint16_t       sequence;
    xcb_window_t   window;
    xcb_colormap_t colormap;
    uint8_t        _new;
    uint8_t        state;
    uint8_t        pad1[2];
} xcb_colormap_notify_event_t;

Look at her. Iconic. Note the field literally named _new — yes, with the underscore, because new is a whole keyword in C++ and we respect that 🫶

🔥 EVENT FIELDS 🔥

  • response_type — the type of this event, and in this case it's XCB_COLORMAP_NOTIFY. This field also shows up in the xcb_generic_event_t, so you can use it to tell your events apart from each other. It's the little name tag at the party, fr fr.
  • sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server. Basically the server's "bestie I did this many things so far" counter ✨
  • window — the window whose associated colormap is changed, installed, or uninstalled. That's the main character right there 👑
  • colormap — the colormap which is changed, installed, or uninstalled. Lowkey important detail: this is XCB_NONE when the colormap is changed by a call to FreeColormap. So if you're seeing XCB_NONE, don't panic, it's just the FreeColormap thing 💀
  • _new — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Yeah. The manpage literally says that. Not me documenting the undocumented, I'm just telling you what's there 🙈
  • state — [no description given in the original]. She's mysterious. She's silent. She contains multitudes. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

This section is empty in the original page. Nothing to report, bestie — the struct above is doing all the talking 💜

And that's the whole page, bestie! This one's from X Version 11, shipped with libxcb 1.17.0 — so when you cite her, cite her right 💅✨ Stay slay, stay colormap-aware, and remember: if the colormap is XCB_NONE, it was FreeColormap. Periodt. 🎀
