    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t major_version;
    uint16_t minor_version;

⭐ Reply function

xcb_genericevent_query_version_reply_t

💜 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💜

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, your little hotline to the server, no cap 🫶
• client_major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (not me leaving it like the original did, bestie, it's giving mysterious 👀)
• client_minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (same energy, the lore is unwritten 💀)

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — the type of this reply, and in this case it's XCB_GENERICEVENT_QUERY_VERSION. this field also lives in the xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell replies apart from each other. main character energy for real 👑
• 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, keep that in mind bestie 🍓).
• major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

---
