XCB_INPUT_XI_SET_CLIENT_POINTER(3)

💅 xcb_input_xi_set_client_pointer — the XCB Requests girlies' guide ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for xcb_input_xi_set_client_pointer(3) from the XCB Requests collection 🎀 yes it's a whole vibe, yes it lives in section 3 of your man pages, and yes we're gonna get through it together. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_input_xi_set_client_pointer — and that's literally it, no cap, the original gave us nothing else to work with here 😭

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🦋 Request function 🦋

here's the function signature, character for character, no notes:

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_input_xi_set_client_pointer(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window, xcb_input_device_id_t deviceid);

she's giving "short and mysterious" energy and honestly? iconic. 👑

---

💖 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💖

here's the tea on each argument, one by one:

• conn — this is your XCB connection to X11. your lil lifeline to the server, your main character connection, the whole reason any of this works 🫶
• window — um. so. the original says TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. and I'm just the messenger bestie 🙈 like, it's giving unfinished homework but we're respecting the lore.
• deviceid — same situation fr fr, TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. so mysterious of it 💀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so lowkey... the DESCRIPTION section of this page is empty. like, completely. nothing. a void. and the way that I have to faithfully tell you that instead of making something up is a whole test of my character 😭 the facts are the facts, bestie.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

so what do you get back? an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's it. that's the return.

any errors (if there even are any) have to be handled over in the event loop — you don't get them handed to you directly here. periodt.

but wait, there's options 👀 if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then you want to use xcb_input_xi_set_client_pointer_checked. and if you want the full rundown on how all this request/cookie business works, go read xcb-requests(3). it's the syllabus, read it.

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

get this — this request does never generate any errors. zero. none. flawless behaviour, no drama, she just shows up and does her job. we love a low-maintenance queen 💅

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

bestie... there's nothing here. the SEE ALSO section is empty. I know. I'm as shook as you are. nothing to cross-reference, nowhere to go next. just vibes 🌈✨
