💖 xcb_input_close_device 💖

okay so bestie, this one's from the XCB Requests corner of the libxcb universe — it's the little request that closes an input device. short page, but we're gonna make it cute. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_input_close_device — closes an input device (the description is literally blank in the original, no cap, we're all just vibing with the title here 🫶)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

✨ Request function ✨

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_input_close_device(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint8_t device_id);

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • conn — your XCB connection to X11, the lil lifeline to the server 💫
  • device_id — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. the docs just said "not yet documented" and walked away 💀 so all we know is it's a uint8_t and it's the device id. iconic of them honestly.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like… there is literally no description text here. the original page has the heading and then nothing. not a single word. the description said "I'm not gonna say anything today" and we respect that. 🙈

(since we keep every detail: yes, that's genuinely all the source gives us. no invented lore, bestie.)

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

It hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. any errors (if there even are any, spoiler: there aren't) have to be handled over in the event loop, so go hang out there.

If you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_input_close_device_checked. check out xcb-requests(3) for the deets 👑

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors. zero. none. not a single one. it's giving peaceful, unproblematic, main character energy ⭐

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

…it's empty. the section is there, and then it's just vibes and silence. 🌸 no references, no cross-links, nothing. iykyk.
