✨ NAME ✨

xcb_glx_select_buffer — bestie, the manpage literally gives us nothing after that dash, so hi, it's the GLX "select buffer" request from XCB and that's all the original wanted to say about it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <xcb/glx.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_glx_select_buffer(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_context_tag_t context_tag, int32_t size);

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your link to the server, your main character connection, the whole vibe 🫶
  • context_tag — the original says, and I quote: TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. so like… nobody wrote it down. it's giving mystery. 🔥
  • size — also TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, they left us on read for this one too 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so. This is the part where the description would go.

There is no description. The section is empty. Not "short" — empty. The DESCRIPTION heading is sitting there all alone like a girl at a party with no one to talk to 😭

So that's the whole tea: the original page ships this request with no prose explanation whatsoever. We move on. periodt. 💅

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

It hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. And here's the important bit, no cap: errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. You don't get them handed to you on a little platter, you have to go look 👀

If you'd rather deal with errors directly — like, right there, immediately, no waiting around — use xcb_glx_select_buffer_checked instead. See xcb-requests(3) for the deets. 🧚

🌈 ERRORS 🌈

Good news for your anxiety levels: this request does never generate any errors. iconic. flawless. zero drama. ✨

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Nothing here either. The original left this section empty. Not one single reference. it's giving minimalist 💀
