xcb_ge_generic_event_t(3)

✨ xcb_ge_generic_event_t ✨

okay bestie, so this one is from the XCB Events fam, and it's the generic event (with length) 💅 it's a lil struct, she's got a length field, and she's about to be your whole personality if you're writing an X11 extension. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

include her like this, babes:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

🎀 Event datastructure

typedef struct xcb_ge_generic_event_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  extension;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t event_type;
    uint8_t  pad0[22];
    uint32_t full_sequence;
} xcb_ge_generic_event_t;

look at her. perfect. no notes. 🫶

💖 EVENT FIELDS 💖

• response_type — the type of this event, and in this specific case it's XCB_GE_GENERIC. this field is ALSO chillin' inside xcb_generic_event_t, and you use it to tell your events apart from each other, like name tags at a party but for packets. 🎀
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request that the X11 server actually processed. it's giving "receipts". 🧾
• extension — the major opcode of the extension that created this event. like, who's the mother. 👑
• length — the amount (measured in 4-byte units, bestie, don't forget the units 😭) of data beyond 32 bytes.
• event_type — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. literally nothing. the mystery. the intrigue. 🙈
• full_sequence — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. also a mystery. we simply do not know. 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so um. there is no description. it's empty. it's a blank canvas. the vibe check returned nothing. not me staring at an empty section 😭 anyway the struct above ate and that's the whole story. periodt.
