✨ xcb_input_xi_delete_property ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XCB Requests section of the manual, and today's main character is xcb_input_xi_delete_property from the X Input extension. she deletes a property. that's the whole gig. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

xcb_input_xi_delete_property — (ngl the original page left this one blank, so we're just vibing with the name itself)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

First you gotta invite her in:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_input_xi_delete_property(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_input_device_id_t deviceid, xcb_atom_t property);

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, fr fr.
  • deviceid — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah babe, the source really said that. no cap. 🫠
  • property — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy. the docs simply did not show up to the function. 😭

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so… the original page has literally nothing here. empty. a void. not one sentence of prose. the description section is giving "silent but powerful" and honestly we have to respect it. no extra lore, no made-up tea — if the manpage doesn't say it, i'm not saying it either. 🧚

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's it, that's the return. 💫

and because it's a void cookie, errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. you don't get them shoved in your face right away.

if you'd rather deal with errors directly using xcb_request_check instead, then bestie you want xcb_input_xi_delete_property_checked. go see xcb-requests(3) for the deets. 📖

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

"This request does never generate any errors."

periodt. 💀 clean run, no drama, no error codes, nothing to catch. slay.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the original page lists nothing here. zero cross-references. an empty VIP section. 🌈 (the only names the page ever drops are xcb_request_check, xcb_input_xi_delete_property_checked and xcb-requests(3) up in RETURN VALUE, so that's your reading list.)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! no notes, we ate, we left no crumbs. this little legend came to you from X Version 11 and libxcb 1.17.0 — go forth and delete those properties, you absolute icon. 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶👑
