✨ xcb_poly_rectangle ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to xcb_poly_rectangle, straight out of the XCB Requests corner of your friendly neighbourhood manual pages 💖 it's a lil X11 request function and it's here to draw rectangles, and honestly? she's simple, she's iconic, she's giving low-effort-high-reward 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_poly_rectangle —

and that's it. that's the whole NAME section. literally just the function name and a lil dangling dash 🎀 no summary, no tagline, no nothing. the manpage said "I'm not gonna elaborate" and honestly? respect. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

first thing's first, you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

💅 Request function 💅

here's the actual function signature, copy it exactly bestie, do not freestyle:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_poly_rectangle(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_drawable_t drawable, xcb_gcontext_t gc,
       uint32_t rectangles_len, const xcb_rectangle_t *rectangles);

🍓 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🍓

okay so here's what you're feeding her:

  • conn — The XCB connection to X11. this is your link to the X server, your situationship with the display, iykyk 🌈
  • drawable — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, the docs are giving unfinished homework 😭 not me reading a TODO in a real manpage
  • gc — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same void 🙈
  • rectangles_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the mystery continues 💀
  • rectangles — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. iconic of them to leave the whole point undocumented honestly

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

[crickets] 🦗✨

no fr, this section is empty in the original. blank. nada. zero. the vibe is immaculate and the information is nonexistent. we move 💜

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. and because it's a void cookie, any errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop, okay? like, you don't get them handed to you directly, you gotta go look for them 🫶

but wait — if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_poly_rectangle_checked instead. slay, options. see xcb-requests(3) for the full details, bestie 📖

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors.

not one. zero. none. she is unbothered, she is unproblematic, she is the moment ⭐

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

[also crickets] 🦗🦗

yeah this one's empty too. the manpage is out here serving minimalist realness and honestly? we stan a low-content queen 👑
