πŸ’– xcb_composite...verlay_window β€” XCB Requests, bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this page lives in the XCB Requests manual (section 3 of your friendly neighborhood man setup), and it's genuinely the shortest little baddie you've ever met. it's giving "came to do one job and did it" energy. let's go. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

xcb_composite_release_overlay_window -

not me pointing out that the description is literally empty after the dash πŸ’€ yeah, the original says nothing else here. that's the whole vibe. moving on bestie 🫢

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <xcb/composite.h>

πŸŽ€ Request function πŸŽ€

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_composite_release_overlay_window(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window);

look at her. one function, two args, zero drama. iconic. πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ REQUEST ARGUMENTS πŸ‘‘

  • conn β€” the XCB connection to X11. it's your lil hotline to the server, your main character connection, the whole reason you're here fr.
  • window β€” TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
okay yes, that's genuinely what the docs say, i'm not gatekeeping you. the manual itself says TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. so that's the tea. πŸ“ no guessing from me, that would be a vibe check fail.

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so... there's literally nothing here. the original page leaves this section completely blank. empty. void. it's giving silence. 😭

i'm not gonna invent lore for you because that would be lying, and lying is NOT slay. so: DESCRIPTION is empty in the source. periodt. ✨


🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's your little receipt, your claim ticket, your "i did a thing" token. πŸŽ€

and here's the important part: errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. you don't get them handed to you right here. the event loop is where the truth comes out, bestie.

if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_composite_release_overlay_window_checked. see xcb-requests(3) for all the deets. iykyk. πŸ¦‹


⭐ ERRORS ⭐

this request does never generate any errors.

no errors. none. zero. she's unproblematic. genuinely a green flag for once. πŸ’š


🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

nothing here either, bestie. the original page lists no references in this section. πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page!! short and sweet, just like she is. this one came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0 β€” mwah, kiss the footer, we're done here. slay, bestie. πŸ‘‘πŸ’…βœ¨
