💖 xcb_render_composite_glyphs_8 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the XCB Requests corner of the man pages, where we're talking about xcb_render_composite_glyphs_8(3). no cap, this one's a whole vibe — it's the 8-bit glyph command flavour of composite glyphs, and she's here to help you shove text-shaped pixels around your X11 screen. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_render_composite_glyphs_8 — literally the request function for compositing glyphs with 8-bit glyph commands. (the og manpage leaves this blank, so we're keeping it cute and minimal, fr fr 🎀)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <xcb/render.h>

✨ Request function ✨

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_render_composite_glyphs_8(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint8_t op, xcb_render_picture_t src, xcb_render_picture_t dst,
       xcb_render_pictformat_t mask_format,
       xcb_render_glyphset_t glyphset, int16_t src_x, int16_t src_y,
       uint32_t glyphcmds_len, const uint8_t *glyphcmds);

look at her. ten whole arguments. main character energy. 👑

👑 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 👑

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, bestie. 💅
  • op — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • src — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • dst — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • mask_format — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • glyphset — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • src_x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • src_y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • glyphcmds_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • glyphcmds — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
ngl bestie, every single one of these is marked TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. in the source. that's not me being lazy, that's the actual page. we're respecting the canon. 🙈

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so… there is no description here. the original section is empty. it's giving mysterious. it's giving "she said nothing and left". silence is a valid aesthetic I guess. 😭

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. cute, right? but plot twist: if any errors happen, you don't get them handed to you directly — you have to handle them in the event loop. that's just how the void cookie girlies do it. 🍓

if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_render_composite_glyphs_8_checked. see xcb-requests(3) for all the deets. 💜

💀 ERRORS 💀

this request does never generate any errors.

iconic behaviour honestly. zero drama. flawless. ✨
