💫 xcb_dpms_get_version(3) — XCB Requests 💫

okay bestie, welcome to the xcb_dpms_get_version page from the XCB Requests fam 🫶 this is where you ask the X server "hey girl, what DPMS version are you running?" and it tells you. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_dpms_get_version — (the original literally leaves this blank, so like… the name is the vibe. it does the version-asking thing 💅)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <xcb/dpms.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_dpms_get_version_cookie_t
       xcb_dpms_get_version(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint16_t client_major_version, uint16_t client_minor_version);

🎀 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_dpms_get_version_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t server_major_version;
    uint16_t server_minor_version;
} xcb_dpms_get_version_reply_t;

🎀 Reply function

xcb_dpms_get_version_reply_t
       *xcb_dpms_get_version_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_dpms_get_version_cookie_t cookie, xcb_generic_error_t **e);

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

• conn — your XCB connection to X11, the whole reason we're here 💖
• client_major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the manpage is literally leaving us on read, sorry bestie 😭)
• client_minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (same energy, fr fr)

---

🦋 REPLY FIELDS 🦋

• response_type — the type of this reply, and in this case it's XCB_DPMS_GET_VERSION. this field also shows up in the xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other 👑
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
• length — the length of the reply, in words (and a word is 4 bytes, periodt).
• server_major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• server_minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

(yeah… the original section is just. empty. it's giving mystery. it's giving "figure it out yourself, babe" ✨ not me adding anything that isn't there, because we don't do that 💅)

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns an xcb_dpms_get_version_cookie_t. the way that errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_dpms_get_version_reply — like, that's where they show up, no cap.

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_dpms_get_version_unchecked. see xcb-requests(3) for the deets 🫶

💀 ERRORS 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
