💖 xcb_glx_swap_buffers 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the XCB Requests corner of the manual, and it's about xcb_glx_swap_buffers — yes it's a whole mouthful, we love her anyway 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_glx_swap_buffers — the swap-buffers request, that's literally it, the manpage author gave us nothing else 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <xcb/glx.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_glx_swap_buffers(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_context_tag_t context_tag, xcb_glx_drawable_t drawable);

👑 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 👑

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. it's the whole vibe link to your X server, no conn no nothing fr fr 🔥
  • context_tag — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. bestie the docs simply did not show up to class that day 😭
  • drawable — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, we got left on read 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this section is literally empty in the original, so there's nothing for me to spill. no lore. no tea. it's giving mystery, and not the fun kind 💀

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. ✨

And listen — errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop, okay? that's the move, that's the whole assignment 🫶

But if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? then you want xcb_glx_swap_buffers_checked. cute little twin sister, iconic behaviour 👑

see xcb-requests(3) for the details, iykyk 📖

🌈 ERRORS 🌈

This request does never generate any errors. 😌

no cap. zero drama. a peaceful queen. periodt 💅

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

empty in the original — nothing linked here, not even one lil reference. the author said "we're done here" 🎀
