✨ EVENT FIELDS ✨

• response_type — the type of this event, which in this case is XCB_DAMAGE_NOTIFY. it also lives inside xcb_generic_event_t, so you can use it to tell your events apart from each other. it's giving ✨name tag✨.
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server. fr fr, that's the one.
• level — the level of the damage being reported. important bestie moment: if the 0x80 bit is set, that means there are subsequent Damage events being delivered immediately as part of a larger Damage region. so like, more is coming, don't close the group chat 💀
• drawable — the drawable for which damage is being reported. the main character of this whole situation.
• damage — the Damage object being used to track the damage. yes she's tracking, no she's not toxic, it's literally her job 🙈
• timestamp — when the event was generated, in milliseconds.
• area — the damaged area of the drawable. the boo-boo zone 🩹
• geometry — the total area of the drawable. the whole vibe, not just the ouchie.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

(okay so this section is literally empty in the original — no notes, no lore, nothing. it's giving silence. so we move. 💀)
