✨ xcb_glx_create_context(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XCB Requests corner of the man pages 💖 this one is xcb_glx_create_context from the XCB fam, and it's literally the request that makes a GLX context happen. yes, that's the whole personality. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_glx_create_context — no description was ever written for this one 😭 that's it, that's the name section, it's giving mysterious main character energy fr fr

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <xcb/glx.h>

💅 Request function 💅

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_glx_create_context(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_context_t context, xcb_visualid_t visual,
       uint32_t screen, xcb_glx_context_t share_list,
       uint8_t is_direct);

like, copy that exactly bestie, don't get cute with the types 👑

🌈 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your little lifeline to the server, the group chat connection, the whole vibe 🫶
  • context — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈 yeah the docs just ghosted us here
  • visual — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀
  • screen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
  • share_list — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🌸
  • is_direct — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. ⭐
not me reading six TODO lines in a row 💀 the original really said "figure it out yourself queen"

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

absolutely nothing here. the DESCRIPTION section is empty, not a single word, it's giving silent treatment 😶🌫️

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. so the errors (if any show up) have to be handled in the event loop — you don't get them handed to you directly, you gotta go catch them 👑

If you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_glx_create_context_checked. check xcb-requests(3) for the deets, no cap 🫶

💜 ERRORS 💜

This request does never generate any errors. periodt. zero drama, zero error codes, she's chill 🔥

🦄 SEE ALSO 🦄

nothing listed. the original left this one blank bestie, so there's no cross-references to hand you 😭

💖 AUTHOR 💖

Generated from glx.xml. Contact xcb@lists.freedesktop.org for corrections and improvements 📧 — yeah, that's the whole credit, iykyk 🌸

and that's the page!! 🎀 this little legend came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and it's the xcb_glx_create_context(3) manual page 💅 slay, go create some contexts, bestie 🦋✨
