πŸ’… xcb_glx_wait_x β€” XCB Requests era πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to the xcb_glx_wait_x page from the XCB Requests manual ✨ this one's a lil short ngl, but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

xcb_glx_wait_x β€”

and that's it. that's the whole name section. the description slot is just… empty. a blank canvas. main character silence πŸ’€ the original really said "no thoughts, head empty" and honestly? iconic.


🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <xcb/glx.h>

πŸŽ€ Request function πŸŽ€

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_glx_wait_x(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_glx_context_tag_t context_tag);

look at her. two args, one cookie, zero drama (allegedly) πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ REQUEST ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • conn β€” the XCB connection to X11. she's your link to the server, your little telephone line to the X11 mothership πŸ“ž
  • context_tag β€” TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah… the docs literally say TODO bestie 😭 nobody wrote this one. it remains a mystery. we respect the mystery πŸ™ˆ

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

nothing here! the DESCRIPTION section is genuinely empty in the original, so there is literally nothing for me to spill. no cap. it's giving "we'll fill this in later" and later never came πŸ’€βœ¨


⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t πŸͺ (a cookie with no data inside β€” just vibes).

any errors (if there even are any, which… see below) have to be handled in the event loop. that's the rule, periodt.

and if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? then you want her sister function, xcb_glx_wait_x_checked πŸ‘‘ go check xcb-requests(3) for the details, bestie, she explains the whole cookie situation way better than I can fr fr.


πŸ”₯ ERRORS πŸ”₯

this request does never generate any errors.

that's right. zero. none. not a single one. she is unproblematic. she is at peace. she is the moment πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈβœ¨


🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

also empty!! the SEE ALSO section is just sitting there with nothing to see and nothing to also. a whole mood πŸ’…

if you spot something wrong and wanna slide into the inbox with corrections and improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org πŸ’Œ they'd genuinely love that.


and that's the whole page bestie!! 🫢 this was X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yeah the date at the bottom is literally just part of the footer β€” she lives down there rent free. mwah πŸ’‹ go write some GLX requests, you absolute legend β­πŸŒΈπŸ’–
