xcb_copy_colormap_and_free(3)

💖 xcb_copy_colormap_and_free

okay bestie, welcome to the ✨ xcb_copy_colormap_and_free ✨ page — it's part of XCB Requests, and ngl she's a little mysterious because half this page is still a TODO 💀. But we're gonna walk through it together, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so the NAME section here is literally empty? Like, blank. Nothing. The manpage never filled in a one-line description, so there's no cute summary tagline for this one. It's giving "mystery icon" 🙈. Just know the whole page is about xcb_copy_colormap_and_free, and that's the vibe.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First up, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

And here's the actual request function signature, character for character:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_copy_colormap_and_free(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_colormap_t mid, xcb_colormap_t src_cmap);

---

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. Your lil hotline to the server, fr fr 💅.
• mid — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah... the docs just never said. We don't invent lore here, so this is all we got 🙈.
• src_cmap — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same situation bestie, the manpage left it blank 😭.

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So the DESCRIPTION section? Completely empty. No prose, no explanation, nothing. The page just moves right along. We are NOT making stuff up to fill it in — that's the rule 👑. If you need the tea on what this request actually does, it's not on this page.

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

She returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. And because that's a void cookie, any errors (if there even are any) have to be handled over in the event loop, not right here.

If you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then you want the checked version: xcb_copy_colormap_and_free_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for all the deets on how that whole thing works 🫶.

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

Good news era: this request does never generate any errors. Zero. None. Not a single one. Slay 💅✨

---

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

Nothing listed here! The SEE ALSO section is empty, so there's no cross-reference posse to send you to. (The only page it nods at in the prose above is xcb-requests(3), for the request-handling details.)
