✨ NAME ✨

xcb_glx_change_drawable_attributes — bestie, that's it, that's the whole name. No little tagline, no explanation, the NAME section literally just drops the function name and dips 💅 (and yeah, the header truncates it to xcb_glx_chang...le_attributes(3), which is giving "we ran out of room at the party" energy).

This one lives in the XCB Requests manual, section 3, so it's a C library situation, not a command you type into your shell. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/glx.h>

Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_glx_change_drawable_attributes(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_drawable_t drawable, uint32_t num_attribs, const
       uint32_t *attribs);

Look at that signature, it's iconic honestly. 🔥

🎀 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. Your little red string to the X server, no cap. 🧵
  • drawable — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Yeah. The docs said "not yet" and then just… never came back. 😭
  • num_attribs — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Same vibe, same void. 💀
  • attribs — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Three for three, the documentation is not beating the allegations. 🙈
Not me pointing out that the entire argument list is unofficially "figure it out bestie" — I'm just the messenger, the TODOs are canon.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So… there is no description. Like, the section exists, it's labeled DESCRIPTION, and then it's just vibes and silence. 🦋 The TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. energy from the arguments carried all the way down here. Respect the commitment, honestly.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

It hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. And here's the tea: if errors happen, you do not get them handed to you directly — you have to handle them in the event loop. That's the deal. 👑

If you'd rather deal with errors immediately and directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_glx_change_drawable_attributes_checked — the _checked twin, she's the one who tells you things. ✨ And if you want the full rundown on how any of this request/cookie business works, go read xcb-requests(3). 📖

💜 ERRORS 💜

This request does never generate any errors. Periodt. Not a single one. Error-free queen behavior, we love to see it. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Nothing. Empty. A whole section, zero references. It's giving "we had a slot open and filled it with air". 🎈
