xcb_render_triangles(3)

✨ xcb_render_triangles — the XCB Requests girlies know 💅

okay so bestie, we're in xcb_render_triangles(3) territory and it's giving "draw me some triangles, but make it a whole X request" 🦋 no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_render_triangles — literally that's the whole name, the description slot is just sitting there empty like a group chat where nobody's typed yet 😭

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/render.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

here's the whole signature, character for character, don't @ me:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_render_triangles(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint8_t op, xcb_render_picture_t src, xcb_render_picture_t dst,
       xcb_render_pictformat_t mask_format, int16_t src_x,
       int16_t src_y, uint32_t triangles_len, const
       xcb_render_triangle_t *triangles);

---

💖 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💖

okay so let's go through the whole cast, one by one, main character energy only:

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your little phone line to the server, basically 📞
• op — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the docs really said "we'll get to it" and never did 🙈)
• src — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• dst — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• mask_format — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• src_x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• src_y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• triangles_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• triangles — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

not me listing all of these and every single one is a TODO 💀 the mystery is the vibe, I guess. the parameter names and types are all we got and we're keeping them exactly as-is, periodt.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

bestie... there is literally nothing here. the DESCRIPTION section is empty. a blank canvas. a silent group chat. the manpage equivalent of sending "..." and leaving it at that 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

so it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. it's a void cookie, which means any errors have to be caught over in the event loop, not handed to you directly 🍓

if you'd rather deal with errors right away using xcb_request_check, then use xcb_render_triangles_checked instead. full details live in xcb-requests(3) if you wanna go deeper 👑

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

this request does never generate any errors. like, zero. none. she's unbothered, moisturized, in her lane 💅

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

...and that's it. the SEE ALSO section is empty too. iconic of her honestly 🌸

💜 AUTHOR 💜

generated from render.xml. if you've got corrections or improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org — they're the ones to tell, fr fr 📧

okay that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 🎀 this was X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yeah — the header said XCB Requests, the footer said xcb_render_triangles(3), so now you know the whole lore. bye bestie, go draw some triangles 💖✨🦋
