💖 xcb_input_sel...tension_event 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the xcb_input_select_extension_event page from XCB Requests — it lives in the XCB family of manual pages and it's your lil doorway into telling the X server which extension events you actually wanna hear about. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_input_select_extension_event — (the description slot is literally empty in the original, so we're just vibing with the name itself 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_input_select_extension_event(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window, uint16_t num_classes, const
       xcb_input_event_class_t *classes);

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your link to the mothership, fr fr.
  • window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭 yeah bestie, the docs really said "figure it out."
  • num_classes — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
  • classes — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀
not me having to relay that three of these arguments are literally undocumented in the source page. i'm just the messenger, i promise. 🍓

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

This section is empty in the original. no description, no lore, nothing. it's giving mysterious main character energy and honestly? iconic. 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

You get back an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

But listen — if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_input_select_extension_event_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details. that's the whole tea. ☕

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors. periodt. clean run, no drama, we love to see it. ✨

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

(nothing listed here in the original — the section's just hanging out, empty and unbothered 💜)

and that's the page, bestie!! this one came to you from X Version 11, running with libxcb 1.17.0 — shoutout to the XCB crew for keeping the lights on. now go select some extension events, you absolute icon. 💅✨🦋
