✨ xcb_render_se...ip_rectangles(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the XCB Requests corner of the manual — yes the title is literally truncated with dots in it, that's not a typo, that's just how it's filed 💅 — and we're talking about xcb_render_set_picture_clip_rectangles. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_render_set_picture_clip_rectangles — and ngl the description slot is just... empty. that's it. that's the whole name section. the original said nothing else so neither do i 😭

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/render.h>

✨ Request function ✨

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_render_set_picture_clip_rectangles(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_render_picture_t picture, int16_t clip_x_origin,
       int16_t clip_y_origin, uint32_t rectangles_len, const
       xcb_rectangle_t *rectangles);

copy it exactly like that, no cap 🧚

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

here's the whole cast, and listen — the original doc for literally every single one of these says "TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED." so i'm not gonna make stuff up about them, that would be a vibe crime 🙈 i'm just telling you what each one is:

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, periodt 💖
• picture — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. the manpage really left us on read for this one 💀
• clip_x_origin — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (a int16_t, in case you were wondering 👀)
• clip_y_origin — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. also just sitting there undocumented, iconic behaviour honestly
• rectangles_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (it's a uint32_t, so like, it's a length. that's all we get 🍓)
• rectangles — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (a const xcb_rectangle_t *, and that's the entire tea ☕)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

...nothing. the section exists and it is empty. the silence is deafening bestie 😭 i cannot invent lore that isn't there, that's not the move 🫶

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. and listen closely, because this part actually matters: any errors have to be handled over in the event loop. that's the deal. no sneaky shortcuts ✨

but wait — if you'd rather handle errors directly, there's xcb_request_check for that, and for that route you wanna use xcb_render_set_picture_clip_rectangles_checked instead. the full details live in xcb-requests(3), so go read that when you're ready 📚

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors.

yep. zero. none. she's unproblematic, she's drama-free, she does not start fights 👑 (dramatic? maybe. accurate? fr fr.)

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

crickets. literally nothing listed here. the section is there and it's empty, so i'm keeping it empty — i'm not about to invent references and gaslight you 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this beauty came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yeah the title up top is truncated with those lil dots but you know exactly which page you're on 💅 mwah, go forth and clip responsibly ✨🌸🦋
