xcb_render_composite(3)

✨ xcb_render_composite ✨

okay bestie, buckle up 🎀 this one is from the XCB Requests manual (that's the manual name, not me being cute — well, mostly not me being cute), and it's the page all about xcb_render_composite. Which, like... the name section is literally just the name and then nothing. The void. The blank space. We love an icon who says nothing and lets the work speak 💅

📛 NAME

xcb_render_composite —

that's it. that's the whole name section. she's mysterious. she's giving enigma. no cap.

---

🧚 SYNOPSIS

#include <xcb/render.h>

🫶 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_render_composite(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint8_t op, xcb_render_picture_t src, xcb_render_picture_t mask,
       xcb_render_picture_t dst, int16_t src_x, int16_t src_y,
       int16_t mask_x, int16_t mask_y, int16_t dst_x, int16_t dst_y,
       uint16_t width, uint16_t height);

like yes she takes a LOT of arguments. she's high maintenance and honestly? she's earned it 👑

🍓 REQUEST ARGUMENTS

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the X server, fr fr.
• op — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the docs really said "no thoughts, head empty" on this one 😭)
• src — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• mask — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• dst — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• src_x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• src_y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• mask_x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• mask_y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• dst_x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• dst_y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• width — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• height — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

twelve arguments, zero explanations. it's giving "trust me bro". it's giving "figure it out". honestly iconic behavior 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION

...nothing. absolutely nothing. the description section is empty, bestie. it's a blank page and we are simply going to have to respect that. not every queen explains herself.

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_render_composite_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

okay so listen — xcb_void_cookie_t is your lil receipt 🧾. it comes back instantly, but any drama gets delivered later, in the event loop. if you're the impatient type who wants the tea right now, that's what xcb_render_composite_checked is for. choose your fighter 💅

---

💀 ERRORS

This request does never generate any errors.

not one single error. zero. zilch. she's a good girl, she's on her best behavior, she would never 😇

---

👑 SEE ALSO

...and there's nothing here either. the see also section said "I have no friends" and honestly, same sometimes 😭🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! short, sweet, and absolutely refusing to elaborate on literally any of her arguments. a true main character 💖

this lil masterpiece lives in X Version 11, ships with libxcb 1.17.0, and yes — every bit of that is straight from the footer, no cap. mwah 💋✨
