xcb_map_subwindows(3)

✨ xcb_map_subwindows — from the XCB Requests girlies 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the xcb_map_subwindows(3) page 💅 this one lives in the XCB Requests family, and it is exactly what it sounds like: you're telling X11 to map a whole squad of subwindows. let's get into it 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

💫 Request function

here's your girl, the function signature, copy it exactly bestie:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_map_subwindows(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window);

---

🎀 REQUEST ARGUMENTS

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, the way that you literally cannot do anything without it 💜
• window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, that's what the docs say, i'm not gonna make something up 😭 that's just what it is fr fr

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION

so… there's genuinely no prose here in the original. it's giving mysterious, it's giving figure it out yourself 🙈 the DESCRIPTION section is just… vibes. empty. no cap.

(what we DO know is that it's a request, and requests are a whole thing — peep xcb-requests(3) down in SEE ALSO for the lore ✨)

---

👑 RETURN VALUE

it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's your lil receipt 🧾

here's the important part though: errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. no shortcuts, no peeking, you go through the loop like everyone else 💅

and if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? then use xcb_map_subwindows_checked — that's your checked-girlie variant 🎀 check xcb-requests(3) for the full details, it's all in there.

---

💀 ERRORS

this request does never generate any errors.

not one. zero. none. it's the chillest request in the group chat 😌 iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🌸 SEE ALSO

…it's empty bestie 🫶 the SEE ALSO section has no entries. we move.
