💅 NAME 💅

xcb_input_ungrab_device_key — and bestie, that's it. That's the whole description. The man page literally wrote a dash and dipped. No cap, the NAME section is out here giving mysterious main character energy with zero elaboration. 🫠

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_input_ungrab_device_key(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t grabWindow, uint16_t modifiers,
       uint8_t modifier_device, uint8_t key, uint8_t grabbed_device);

Look at that signature, it's giving organized. Six arguments, all lined up, slay. 💖

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. Your lil hotline to the X server, fr fr. 🔥
  • grabWindow — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. bestie the docs said "idk her" 😭
  • modifiers — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. still nothing. iconic avoidance honestly.
  • modifier_device — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the silence is deafening 💀
  • key — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. nope, not a single word.
  • grabbed_device — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. and that's the whole list. every single one of them left us on read. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Nothing. Empty. A void. The DESCRIPTION section is a blank page and honestly? She's thriving in her mystery era. 🧚 No technical tea to spill here, because the original spills none.

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

So it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. That's the vibe. 🌈

If any errors pop off, you gotta deal with them in the event loop — that's where the drama gets resolved, not here.

But if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? Then you want xcb_input_ungrab_device_key_checked. Different girl, same energy. ✨ And peep xcb-requests(3) for all the details on how that works.

⭐ ERRORS ⭐

This request does never generate any errors. Periodt. Zero drama, zero chaos, she simply does not start problems. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Nothing listed. The SEE ALSO section is empty, so there's nobody to introduce you to. She's a lone wolf. 🐺 (Though lowkey, xcb-requests(3) did get a shoutout up in RETURN VALUE, iykyk. 👀)
