🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

• conn — your XCB connection to X11, the ride-or-die that carries every request. no conn, no vibes ✨
• screen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie the docs said "later" and later never came 😭
• name — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same empty page, we stay strong 🫶

---

💜 REPLY FIELDS 💜

• response_type — the type of this reply, and in this case it's XCB_GLX_QUERY_SERVER_STRING. this field is also chillin' inside xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other. it's giving name tag at a party 🎀
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request the X11 server actually processed. the receipt, basically 🧾
• length — how long the reply is, measured in words (and a word is 4 bytes, keep that in your notes 📝).
• str_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the mystery member of the struct, we love an enigma 💀

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

Okay so… there is genuinely nothing here. Like, the original page has the heading and then silence. Empty. A void. Main character with no lines 🙈 We're not inventing lore that isn't there, so consider this your official vibe check: no description, no cap.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

You get back an xcb_glx_query_server_string_cookie_t. Adorable. But listen — errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_glx_query_server_string_reply.

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead (very valid, very ✨organized✨ of you), use xcb_glx_query_server_string_unchecked. Head over to xcb-requests(3) for the full tea ☕

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors. literally never. zero drama, zero chaos, an absolute angel 👑 no xcb_generic_error_t jumpscares for you, bestie.

okay that's the whole page, you made it to the end, iconic behavior honestly. This one came to you from X Version 11 and libxcb 1.17.0 — go forth and query those server strings, bestie 💖✨🎀🦋
