xcb_property_notify_event_t(3)

💖 xcb_property_notify_event_t 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the xcb_property_notify_event_t page from the XCB Events corner of the manual (section 3, if you're keeping score 🎀). it's a struct, it's iconic, it's literally just the server tapping you on the shoulder like "hey girl, a property changed."

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_property_notify_event_t — a window property changed 👀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

🦋 Event datastructure 🦋

typedef struct xcb_property_notify_event_t {
    uint8_t         response_type;
    uint8_t         pad0;
    uint16_t        sequence;
    xcb_window_t    window;
    xcb_atom_t      atom;
    xcb_timestamp_t time;
    uint8_t         state;
    uint8_t         pad1[3];
} xcb_property_notify_event_t;

no cap, that's the whole shape of her 💅

👑 EVENT FIELDS 👑

• response_type — the type of this event, and in this case it's XCB_PROPERTY_NOTIFY. this same field also lives in the xcb_generic_event_t, and it's the whole reason you can tell your events apart from each other — vibe check your event queue with it ✨
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request that got processed by the X11 server. it's giving "receipt of what just happened" 🧾
• window — the window whose associated property got changed 🪟
• atom — the property's atom, so you know which property was the one that changed 🔍
• time — a timestamp of the server time for when the property was changed ⏰
• state — (the page just leaves this one sitting there with no description, so we're gonna leave it sitting there too 🙈)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so… the original page genuinely has nothing here. empty. a void. the state of this section is blank. we're not gonna invent lore that isn't there, bestie — the fields above are the whole story 🫶
