xcb_randr_get_panning(3)

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_randr_get_panning — okay so bestie, the official name line here is literally just the function name and then a lil dash with absolutely nothing after it 💀. No description. Nothing. The manpage said "that's it, that's the name." So like… we go in blind and we learn together, fr fr.

This is a page from libxcb, manual name xcb_randr_get_panning, section 3. Now let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First thing, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/randr.h>

💅 Request function

xcb_randr_get_panning_cookie_t
       xcb_randr_get_panning(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_randr_crtc_t crtc);

🎀 Reply datastructure

Not me being obsessed with this struct, it's giving very structured, very organized:

typedef struct xcb_randr_get_panning_reply_t {
    uint8_t         response_type;
    uint8_t         status;
    uint16_t        sequence;
    uint32_t        length;
    xcb_timestamp_t timestamp;
    uint16_t        left;
    uint16_t        top;
    uint16_t        width;
    uint16_t        height;
    uint16_t        track_left;
    uint16_t        track_top;
    uint16_t        track_width;
    uint16_t        track_height;
    int16_t         border_left;
    int16_t         border_top;
    int16_t         border_right;
    int16_t         border_bottom;
} xcb_randr_get_panning_reply_t;

🦋 Reply function

xcb_randr_get_panning_reply_t
       *xcb_randr_get_panning_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_randr_get_panning_cookie_t cookie, xcb_generic_error_t **e);

⭐ REQUEST ARGUMENTS ⭐

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. Your lil hotline to the server, no cap.
• crtc — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Yeah bestie, the docs literally said "we'll finish this later" and never came back 😭. It's an xcb_randr_crtc_t, that's what we know, and we move on.

---

👑 REPLY FIELDS 👑

• response_type — the type of this reply. In this case it's XCB_RANDR_GET_PANNING. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell replies apart from each other. It's the name tag at the party 💖
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
• length — the length of the reply, in words. And reminder: a word is 4 bytes. Words are 4 bytes here, not vibes.
• status — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• timestamp — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• left — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• top — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• width — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• height — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• track_left — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• track_top — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• track_width — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• track_height — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• border_left — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• border_top — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• border_right — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• border_bottom — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈

Not the whole field list being a TODO 💀. It's giving "work in progress" main character energy. But like — that's genuinely what the page says, so that's what we're reporting. No inventing, no guessing, periodt.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So… the DESCRIPTION section? Completely empty. Not one word. A true minimalist queen, she said nothing and left 💅✨

---

🍓 RETURN VALUE 🍓

Returns an xcb_randr_get_panning_cookie_t. Yes, a cookie 🍪 — it's your lil claim ticket for the reply.

Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_randr_get_panning_reply.

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_randr_get_panning_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details — that's your homework, bestie, go read it 🫶

---

💜 ERRORS 💜

This request does never generate any errors. Not one. Zero. Flawless, unbothered, no drama. Iconic behavior, honestly 👑

---

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

Yeah so… this section is empty too. Nothing listed. The page simply had no friends to introduce you to at the party 😭

And that's the whole page! Some parts were empty, some were TODO, and we kept all of it exactly as it was — nothing added, nothing skipped, no cap.

Signing off with the receipts: this was X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, the page xcb_randr_get_panning(3). Stay hydrated, read your manpages, and slay 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅
