xcb_render_create_glyph_set(3)

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_render_create_glyph_set — bestie, this is the libxcb(3) request that makes you a brand new glyph set in the X Render extension. That's it, that's the whole name section, the original left it blank so I'm not gonna invent lore 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First, the vibe-check include:

#include <xcb/render.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_render_create_glyph_set(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_render_glyphset_t gsid, xcb_render_pictformat_t format);

Yes queen, that's a xcb_void_cookie_t coming back at you. It's giving "no return data, only vibes" 😌

---

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. Your lil phone line to the X server, your main character hotline ☎️
• gsid — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Bestie, I know. The upstream docs literally just say that. I'm not out here making stuff up, no cap 🙈
• format — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Same energy. The manpage authors really said "figure it out" 💀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the thing — the original DESCRIPTION section is empty. Like, absolutely nothing. Not one word. The whole section is just a heading and then silence, and honestly? Iconic. Sometimes the absence is the statement 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

It returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. And because it's a void cookie, any errors have to be handled over in the event loop — that's where the drama happens, not at the call site ✨

But wait, there's another path! If you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_render_create_glyph_set_checked — same request, different energy. See xcb-requests(3) for the details, because the details live there, not here 👑

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors. Zero. None. Not a single one. It's the well-behaved angel child of the Render extension 😇

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The original left this one blank too — no references, no cross-links, just a lonely empty heading. Respect the minimalism, I guess 🎀

---

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Generated from render.xml. If you spot something wrong and wanna fix it, hmu at xcb@lists.freedesktop.org for corrections and improvements — they literally put the email right there in the manpage, so use it 💖

---

And that's a wrap, bestie!! This page comes to you courtesy of X Version 11 and libxcb 1.17.0, so if you were wondering what era of the XCB cinematic universe we're in — that's the one 🌟 Go forth and create glyph sets, you absolute legend 🦋💅✨
