πŸ’… xcb_delete_property β€” from the XCB Requests corner of the manual, section 3

okay so bestie, welcome to xcb_delete_property(3) πŸ’– this one lives in section 3 of the manual (the library-functions section, iykyk) and it's part of XCB Requests. buckle up, it's a short one but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_delete_property β€” and that's it. literally nothing after the dash. the original page leaves this blank, so I'm not gonna make anything up, no cap πŸ™ˆ


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

first things first, you gotta bring in the header:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

✨ Request function ✨

here's the whole entire vibe:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_delete_property(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window, xcb_atom_t property);

that's it. that's the function. she's giving short and sweet πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ REQUEST ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • conn β€” the XCB connection to X11. your link to the server, your whole entire main character πŸ”₯
  • window β€” TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah girl, the docs just said "not yet" and left it at that 😭 that's the actual text, I'm not editorializing.
  • property β€” TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy fr fr πŸ™ˆ

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so… there is genuinely nothing here. the DESCRIPTION section of the original is empty. zero words. an absolute silence, a moment of quiet reflection 🧚 nothing for me to translate, nothing for me to add β€” I refuse to make stuff up, periodt.


⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. errors, if there are any, have to be handled in the event loop β€” that's the deal, bestie.

and if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? then use xcb_delete_property_checked πŸ’– peek at xcb-requests(3) for the full rundown.


πŸ’€ ERRORS πŸ’€

this request does never generate any errors.

never. none. not a single one. she's unbothered, she's thriving, she causes zero problems πŸ‘‘


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

also empty in the original πŸ™ˆ no references, no cross-links, nothing. go touch some grass, or read another manpage, your call πŸ“

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🫢 this little cutie is from X Version 11, shipping with libxcb 1.17.0, and yes the date/manual tag on the tin is xcb_delete_property(3) 🌸 go forth and delete some properties (responsibly) ✨πŸ’
