💖 xcb_poly_text_8 — the XCB Requests girlies' page 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to xcb_poly_text_8(3), straight out of the XCB Requests section of the manual. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_poly_text_8 —

no cap, the NAME section is literally just vibes and a dash. the description is empty. we're starting strong 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull in the header, periodt:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

and here's the function itself, character for character, don't you dare touch it:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_poly_text_8(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_drawable_t drawable, xcb_gcontext_t gc, int16_t x, int16_t y,
       uint32_t items_len, const uint8_t *items);

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

here's the whole cast of characters. and yes, the original really does say TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. for every single one of them. the way that the docs just said "figure it out bestie" 😭 iconic honestly.

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. that's your link to the server, your main character connection 💅
  • drawable — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • gc — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • items_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • items — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so… the DESCRIPTION section is empty. nothing. silence. a blank space. taylor swift style 🎶 ngl we're all just gonna have to live with the mystery.

💫 RETURN VALUE 💫

it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's the whole gift 🎁

and listen, because this part actually matters: errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. that's the rule, fr fr.

but if you'd rather handle your errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? then use xcb_poly_text_8_checked. easy swap, bestie. go read xcb-requests(3) for the full details 🫶

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors.

like, at all. zero. none. not a single one. she's chill like that 💅✨

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

…there's nothing here either. the SEE ALSO section said "no thoughts, head empty" 🧚 absolutely nothing to reference, we're on our own girlies.
