✨ xcb_input_xi_set_focus 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libxcb manual — it's the xcb_input_xi_set_focus request, living in the XCB Requests section. if you're out here doing X11 input stuff with XCB, this one's for you. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🎀 Request function

here's the whole vibe, signature and all:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_input_xi_set_focus(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window, xcb_timestamp_t time,
       xcb_input_device_id_t deviceid);

💅 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💅

so here's who's who in that lil parameter list:

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your link to the mothership, basically. 🔥
  • window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, the docs just… aren't there yet. i don't make the rules. 😭
  • time — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy. mysterious. iconic of them honestly. 🙈
  • deviceid — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. also undocumented. it's giving "figure it out yourself" ngl. 💀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

literally nothing here. the original page leaves this section completely empty — no description, no lore, no tea. we move. 🫶

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's the whole thing. 🎀

and here's the important part, no cap: any errors? they have to be handled over in the event loop. that's where they show up.

but wait — if you'd rather deal with errors directly and not in the event loop, use xcb_request_check instead. and for that you want xcb_input_xi_set_focus_checked. head over to xcb-requests(3) for the full breakdown, bestie. ⭐

💀 ERRORS 💀

okay this is the good news section:

this request does never generate any errors. periodt. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

nothing listed here in the original — the section's just sitting there empty. she's mysterious like that. 💜

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this page is from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0 — go forth and set that focus. slay. 💖✨👑
