💖 xcb_record_query_version — the vibe check for Record extension versions 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the xcb_record_query_version page from the XCB Requests manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're keeping it, it's iconic). this is your girl explaining how you ask the X11 server "hey, what version of the Record extension are you running, bestie?" 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_record_query_version — so… the description here is literally blank in the original, no cap. 💀 we move on.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/record.h>

💅 Request function

xcb_record_query_version_cookie_t
       xcb_record_query_version(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint16_t major_version, uint16_t minor_version);

🎀 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_record_query_version_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t major_version;
    uint16_t minor_version;
} xcb_record_query_version_reply_t;

🫶 Reply function

xcb_record_query_version_reply_t
       *xcb_record_query_version_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,

⭐ REQUEST ARGUMENTS ⭐

• conn — your XCB connection to X11, the group chat you're sending this into 📱
• major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah she's a mystery, we don't know her 🙈
• minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, no lore available 😭

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — the type of this reply, which in this case is XCB_RECORD_QUERY_VERSION. this field also lives in xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other 👑
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server, like a lil timestamp for the gossip 💫
• length — the length of the reply, in words. and bestie, a word here is 4 bytes, remember that 💅
• major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. still a mystery 🕵️
• minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. also a mystery, we know nothing, zero tea 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

literally nothing here in the original. the section exists, it's just empty. slay, i guess ✨

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

it hands you back an xcb_record_query_version_cookie_t 🍪 — and here's the thing, bestie: errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_record_query_version_reply.

if you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_record_query_version_unchecked. see xcb-requests(3) for details, fr fr 📖

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

this request does never generate any errors. not one. clean run, no drama, we love that for her 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one came from libxcb 1.17.0, part of X Version 11, and yeah, the page title is xcb_record_query_version(3) in case you forgot already 💅 periodt, go forth and query those versions ✨💖🎀
