💅 xcb_no_operation — the request that does absolutely nothing (and serves, honestly)

Bestie, welcome to xcb_no_operation, a page from section 3 of the manual — the XCB Requests girlies. It lives in libxcb, it talks to X11, and its whole personality is showing up and doing nothing. Iconic, honestly. Periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

✨ Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_no_operation(xcb_connection_t *conn,
okay so yes, that's the entire line, trailing comma and all, exactly as the manual gives it. No cap. 🫶

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. That's the whole guest list for this function. Just conn.

🦋 DESCRIPTION

There is literally nothing here. The DESCRIPTION section is empty, bestie. Not one word. The request is xcb_no_operation — it's giving minimalism, it's giving "I have no notes", it's giving silence. I'm obsessed. 💖

⭐ RETURN VALUE

It hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. And listen — any errors (if there even are any, which, spoiler, there aren't) have to be handled over in the event loop. That's the vibe. That's where error handling lives. 🌈

Now, if you're the kind of girl who wants to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead of doing the event loop dance, then you want the checked version: xcb_no_operation_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for all the deets. 💅

💀 ERRORS

This request does never generate any errors.

Read that again. Never. Zero. None. It's clean, it's unbothered, it's got nothing to apologise for. 😭✨

🧚 SEE ALSO

Nothing listed here either. The SEE ALSO section is blank in the source page — no references, no friends, no mutuals. Just vibes. 🎀

X Version 11 · libxcb 1.17.0 — that's the source and version, mwah. And with that, bestie, this little page is officially a wrap. Stay unbothered, stay error-free, and remember: sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is nothing at all. 💖✨🦋👑
