💅 xcb_input_xi_barrier_release_pointer — bestie edition

okay so real talk, this page lives in the XCB Requests section of the manual (you know, the xcb_input_xi_...lease_pointer(3) girlies), and it's short. like, suspiciously short. but we're gonna make it cute anyway 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_input_xi_barrier_release_pointer — and that's it, that's the whole name, the description slot is literally empty bestie, the upstream just left it blank 💀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

Request function 🌸

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_input_xi_barrier_release_pointer(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint32_t num_barriers, const
       xcb_input_barrier_release_pointer_info_t *barriers);

👑 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 👑

  • conn — your XCB connection to X11. the whole portal to the server, no cap 🔥
  • num_barriers — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. the docs said "later" and then never came back 😭 that's literally all we know fr fr.
  • barriers — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy. it's a pointer to xcb_input_barrier_release_pointer_info_t and the description is a mystery 🕵️♀️✨
not me reading the docs and finding two whole TODOs 💀 it's giving "we'll fill this in before release" and they did NOT.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

...so there's genuinely nothing here. like, the section exists and it's empty. the void. the abyss. we simply do not have a description on this one 🫶 (this is a faithful reproduction of the emptiness, bestie — I'm not gonna make up lore that isn't in the source ✨)

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

It hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t — yes, void, because this request doesn't return any data, it just does the thing 💅

Any errors? You handle those in the event loop, periodt. That's the vibe.

But WAIT — if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_input_xi_barrier_release_pointer_checked and go off 👑

See xcb-requests(3) for the details on how all that works, iykyk 📚

💀 ERRORS 💀

good news!! this request does never generate any errors. zero. none. a clean girl, a drama-free icon, she simply does not start problems 🌸✨

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

nothing listed bestie, the section's just vibing there empty 🙈

X Version 11 · libxcb 1.17.0 — and that's the whole page, babes. tiny page, huge heart. mwah 💋 stay hydrated, close your connections, and may your barriers always release 🦋💖
