xcb_randr_set_monitor(3)

💅 xcb_randr_set_monitor — the XCB Requests era

okay bestie, welcome to xcb_randr_set_monitor(3) 💖 this one lives in the XCB Requests family, and honestly? it's giving "short and mysterious." let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_randr_set_monitor — no description, and we're just gonna sit with that 💀 the manpage literally leaves this blank, so no cap, that's all the NAME section gives us.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first thing's first, you gotta pull in the header, periodt:

#include <xcb/randr.h>

🦋 Request function 🦋

and here's the actual function, character for character, don't you dare paraphrase it:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_randr_set_monitor(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_window_t window, xcb_randr_monitor_info_t *monitorinfo);

---

💅 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💅

• conn — your XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, basically 📞
• window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. i know, i know 😭 the docs really said "figure it out bestie."
• monitorinfo — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same silence 🙈

ngl, two of the three arguments here are literally undocumented in the source. i'm not gonna make stuff up — that would be so not slay. all we know is what's written, and what's written is "TODO."

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

there is no DESCRIPTION text. that's it. that's the whole vibe. the section exists, the words do not 🌈✨

---

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

this one hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. and because it's a void cookie, any errors (if there even are any) have to get handled in the event loop, okay? that's the whole deal 🔥

but wait — if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then you wanna use xcb_randr_set_monitor_checked 💖 that's your girl for the direct-check route.

for all the deets on how that whole checked/unchecked thing works, go read xcb-requests(3). iykyk ⭐

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

good news, icon behavior: this request does never generate any errors. zero. none. nothing. clean sheet, no drama, we love to see it 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
