🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_genericevent_query_version — literally just the name, the original page leaves it blank, so no extra lore here, iykyk 🙈

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

First things first, you gotta include the header:

#include <xcb/ge.h>

💅 Request function

xcb_genericevent_query_version_cookie_t
       xcb_genericevent_query_version(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint16_t client_major_version, uint16_t client_minor_version);

🎀 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_genericevent_query_version_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t major_version;
    uint16_t minor_version;
    uint8_t  pad1[20];
} xcb_genericevent_query_version_reply_t;

⭐ Reply function

xcb_genericevent_query_version_reply_t
       *xcb_genericevent_query_version_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,

       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

💜 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 ✨

(so real talk, the original page has literally nothing here. iconic of it. slay 💅)

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

It returns an xcb_genericevent_query_version_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_genericevent_query_version_reply.

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_genericevent_query_version_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for the details, go read it, it's worth it 🧚

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors. periodt. zero drama, zero errors, we love a peaceful queen ✨
