xcb_render_free_glyph_set(3)

💖 xcb_render_free_glyph_set — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the libxcb manual, specifically the xcb_render_free_glyph_set joint. it's part of the XCB Requests crew, and it lives in section 3 of the manual (that's the library-functions section, iykyk). sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_render_free_glyph_set — literally that's it, the name section is giving mystery on purpose 🫶 (the original leaves the description blank, so no cap, there's nothing else to tell you here).

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

first things first, you gotta pull in the header, no skipping:

#include <xcb/render.h>

🦋 Request function 🦋

and here's the actual function signature, copied exactly, character for character, don't @ me:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_render_free_glyph_set(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_render_glyphset_t glyphset);

---

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. that's your link to the whole X server situation, your main character pipeline 💅
• glyphset — ok bestie, the original literally says TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. so I'm not about to invent lore for it. it's a xcb_render_glyphset_t and the manpage is not telling us more than that 🙈

---

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

...the original page has absolutely nothing here. empty. void. not a single crumb. so I'm not making stuff up — the description section is just not there, and that's the tea ☕

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

it returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. and here's the important part, don't scroll past: errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. so if something goes wrong, you're dealing with it in the event loop, not right here, periodt.

but wait — if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_render_free_glyph_set_checked instead. that's the whole vibe. and for the full details on how any of this works, go read xcb-requests(3). 👑

---

🌈 ERRORS 🌈

this request does never generate any errors.

like, at all. zero. none. iconic behaviour honestly, no error handling anxiety for this one 🧚

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the original page lists nothing here, so there's nothing to point you at. (rude, honestly, but we move.)

---

💜 AUTHOR 💜

this page was generated from render.xml. if you spot something wrong and wanna help make it better, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org with corrections and improvements. they're literally asking, so don't be shy 🫶

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! ✨ this little gem comes to you from X Version 11, running libxcb 1.17.0 — and yes, the page title is exactly xcb_render_free_glyph_set(3), just in case you needed the receipts. now go free those glyph sets, slay 💅🎀
