xcb_glx_creat...t_attribs_arb(3)

✨ xcb_glx_create_context_attribs_arb ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about xcb_glx_create_context_attribs_arb 💖

this one lives in the XCB Requests corner of the manual, section 3, and it's giving very GLX, very ARB, very "i make a context with attribs, obviously" 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta let it in:

#include <xcb/glx.h>

🎀 Request function

and here's the whole girl. look at her. so many arguments. so much main character energy:

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_glx_create_context_attribs_arb(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_context_t context, xcb_glx_fbconfig_t fbconfig,
       uint32_t screen, xcb_glx_context_t share_list, uint8_t is_direct,
       uint32_t num_attribs, const uint32_t *attribs);

no cap, that's the exact signature. type it exactly like that or the compiler will simply not.

---

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

every single one, explained with love 🫶

• conn — your XCB connection to X11. the group chat, basically. everything goes through her.
• context — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (not me being left on read by the docs 😭)
• fbconfig — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (same bestie, same 💀)
• screen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the docs said "no thoughts, head empty" 🙈)
• share_list — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (sharing is caring but apparently also undocumented ✨)
• is_direct — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (direct? indirect? the mystery is the moment 🌈)
• num_attribs — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (count your blessings, or your attribs, idk 🍓)
• attribs — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the main event and yet, silence 💜)

fr fr, that's what the page says — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. i'm not gatekeeping anything, the source itself is gatekeeping. iykyk.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

...and that's it. that's the description. the original literally has nothing under this heading, which is such a vibe honestly — it said "i'm a heading, i don't owe you an explanation" 💅✨

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's it, that's the tea 🍵

errors (if any) do not come back to you directly — you have to handle them in the event loop, like a grown-up.

if you'd rather deal with errors immediately with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_glx_create_context_attribs_arb_checked (the _checked variant, the responsible sister 👑). see xcb-requests(3) for all the deets.

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

this request does never generate any errors.

iconic. flawless. zero drama. not one single error, ever. periodt 🎀
