xcb_render_triangles(3)
β¨ xcb_render_triangles β the XCB Requests girlies know π
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" π¦ no cap.
πΈ NAME πΈ
xcb_render_triangles β literally that's the whole name, the description slot is just sitting there empty like a group chat where nobody's typed yet π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
first things first, you gotta pull in the header:
#include <xcb/render.h>
π Request function π
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);
π REQUEST ARGUMENTS π
okay so let's go through the whole cast, one by one, main character energy only:
connβ the XCB connection to X11. your little phone line to the server, basically πopβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.(the docs really said "we'll get to it" and never did π)srcβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.dstβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.mask_formatβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.src_xβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.src_yβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.triangles_lenβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.trianglesβTODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
not me listing all of these and every single one is a TODO π 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.
π DESCRIPTION π
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 π«Ά
β RETURN VALUE β
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 π
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 π
π₯ ERRORS π₯
this request does never generate any errors. like, zero. none. she's unbothered, moisturized, in her lane π
π SEE ALSO π
...and that's it. the SEE ALSO section is empty too. iconic of her honestly πΈ
π AUTHOR π
generated from render.xml. if you've got corrections or improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org β they're the ones to tell, fr fr π§
okay that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs π this was X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yeah β 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 πβ¨π¦
