🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, aka your lil hotline to the server. 💖
• selection — okay so the original literally says TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Not me exposing the manpage's unfinished homework. 🙈 It's an xcb_atom_t, bestie, that's all we got.

---

💜 REPLY FIELDS 💜

• response_type — the type of this reply. In this case it's XCB_SELINUX_GET_SELECTION_CONTEXT. This field also lives in xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell replies apart from each other. Very main character of it. 👑
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request the X11 server processed. 🧚
• length — the length of the reply, in words. And bestie, a word is 4 bytes, no cap. 📏
• context_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Yeah. Again. The lore is not lore-ing. 💀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So the DESCRIPTION section is… empty. Nothing. A vibe void. 🕳️ The original page just moves straight on, so we move straight on too. Periodt.

---

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

It returns an xcb_selinux_get_selection_context_cookie_t. 🍪

Errors have to be handled when you call the reply function, xcb_selinux_get_selection_context_reply.

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_selinux_get_selection_context_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for the deets. ✨

---

😭 ERRORS 😭

This request does never generate any errors. Zero. None. Flawless behaviour, honestly iconic.

---

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

Empty. Bestie the cross-references said "no thoughts, head empty." 🎀 (There really isn't anything listed here in the original.)

And that's the whole page, bestie! 🌈 This came to you from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and the xcb_selinux_get_selection_context(3) page itself. Stay slay, read your manpages, and remember: if a section says TODO, it's not your fault. 💅✨
