✨ xcb_glx_render 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for xcb_glx_render, part of the XCB requests crew, section 3 of the manuals. it's giving "GLX things happening over the wire" and honestly? we're here for it. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_glx_render — literally no description was written here 🙈 (the original page just leaves this blank, and we are not about to invent one, no cap)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/glx.h>

Request function 👑

here's the whole vibe, signature and all — copy it exactly, don't freestyle:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_glx_render(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_context_tag_t context_tag, uint32_t data_len, const
       uint8_t *data);

💖 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💖

one bullet per argument, and yes we are keeping the TODO energy because that's what the page says, periodt:

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, basically. 📞
  • context_tag — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭 the docs simply did not show up to class today.
  • data_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same void, same mystery. 💀
  • data — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. iconic of the original, honestly. nothing to see, nothing documented. 🙈

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

this section is empty in the original. nothing here, no lore, no tea. we're not gonna make stuff up because making up technical claims is not the move. 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. cute, right? but here's the catch — any errors have to be handled over in the event loop. you don't get them handed to you directly.

and if you'd rather deal with errors right away with xcb_request_check instead? then use xcb_glx_render_checked. that's the one for you, bestie. peek at xcb-requests(3) for the full rundown. 💅

💀 ERRORS 💀

the good news, the great news, the slay news: this request does never generate any errors. zero. none. a clean run, a peaceful life, main character energy only. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

nothing listed in the original! the SEE ALSO section is empty, so there's no cross-reference to chase. no crumbs. 🍓

👑 AUTHOR 👑

generated from glx.xml. if you've got corrections or improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org — they're the ones who can fix it up. 💌

and that's the whole page, angel. this one came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, dated with the xcb_glx_render(3) energy we know and love. take care of yourself, hydrate, and may all your cookies be void and your errors be nonexistent. 🌸✨🦋🎀💜
