xcb_input_dev...notify_event_t(3)

💖 xcb_input_device_mapping_notify_event_t 💖

okay bestie, we're deep in the XCB Events section of the manual, and today's main character is xcb_input_dev...notify_event_t — specifically the xcb_input_device_mapping_notify_event_t ✨. It's giving "struct with a mystery backstory" and honestly? We're obsessed. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First things first, you gotta bring in the header or nothing works, no cap:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🎀 Event datastructure

Here's the whole glow-up, exactly as it lives in the wild:

typedef struct xcb_input_device_mapping_notify_event_t {
    uint8_t              response_type;
    uint8_t              device_id;
    uint16_t             sequence;
    uint8_t              request;
    xcb_input_key_code_t first_keycode;
    uint8_t              count;
    uint8_t              pad0;
    xcb_timestamp_t      time;
    uint8_t              pad1[20];
} xcb_input_device_mapping_notify_event_t;

✨ EVENT FIELDS ✨

every field is a lil icon in its own right, let's do a vibe check on each one 💅

• response_type — the type of this event, and in this case it's literally XCB_INPUT_DEVICE_MAPPING_NOTIFY. plot twist: this field also shows up in the xcb_generic_event_t, so you can use it to tell your events apart from each other. very "which one of y'all is this" energy 👑
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server. the receipts, basically 🧾
• device_id — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the mystery. the enigma. we don't know her yet 😭
• request — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same boat, babe 🙈
• first_keycode — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the docs are leaving us on read 💀
• count — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. it counts, allegedly 💅
• time — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. no timestamps for the timestamps field, ironic 🕐

ngl, a lot of these are "NOT YET DOCUMENTED" — that's not me being shady, that's literally what the manpage says. it's canon, bestie. don't @ me 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

...and that's it. The DESCRIPTION section is empty. iconic behavior honestly. it said "I contain multitudes" and then contained zero words 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Nothing here either, bestie. The SEE ALSO section is a quiet little void. Sometimes a girl just doesn't have references ✨
