XCB_RANDR_SCREEN_CHANGE_NOTIFY_EVENT_T(3)

💖 xcb_randr_screen_change_notify_event_t — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from XCB Events (that's the manual section it lives in), and it's about one very specific little struct: xcb_randr_screen_change_notify_event_t. she's an event datastructure. she's giving RandR screen change. she has a LOT of fields. let's get into it ✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

first things first, you gotta bring her in:

#include <xcb/randr.h>

🎀 Event datastructure

here's the whole glow-up, every field, exactly as she is:

typedef struct xcb_randr_screen_change_notify_event_t {
    uint8_t         response_type;
    uint8_t         rotation;
    uint16_t        sequence;
    xcb_timestamp_t timestamp;
    xcb_timestamp_t config_timestamp;
    xcb_window_t    root;
    xcb_window_t    request_window;
    uint16_t        sizeID;
    uint16_t        subpixel_order;
    uint16_t        width;
    uint16_t        height;
    uint16_t        mwidth;
    uint16_t        mheight;
} xcb_randr_screen_change_notify_event_t;

that's her. that's the whole struct. iconic honestly 💅

✨ EVENT FIELDS ✨

okay so field by field, let's vibe check each one 🦋

• response_type — this tells you what kind of event you're looking at. in this case it's XCB_RANDR_SCREEN_CHANGE_NOTIFY. and here's the cute part: this field also lives inside xcb_generic_event_t, so you can peek at it there to figure out which event is which when they're all hanging out together. very "how do you do, fellow events" of her.
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request that got processed by the X11 server. like a receipt number for the server's last move 🧾
• rotation — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. she's a mystery. no cap.
• timestamp — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• config_timestamp — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀
• root — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
• request_window — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🫶
• sizeID — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🌸
• subpixel_order — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🦋
• width — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. ⭐
• height — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💜
• mwidth — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🌈
• mheight — NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 👑

ngl the docs here are lowkey just a row of "NOT YET DOCUMENTED." and honestly? we respect the transparency. if it's not written down, i'm not about to make it up. that's the rule, bestie. 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

...yeah there's nothing here. the section exists, the words do not. we move. 💀

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

and that's the whole page!! 🎉 this little gem came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17, and yes i know that footer line was doing the most with the truncation — xcb_randr_scre...notify_event_t(3) said what it said. anyway. slay, go handle your screen change notifications, and remember: not documented ≠ not real, it just means nobody wrote it down yet 🫶💖
