✨ xcb_set_dashes ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in libxcb (the XCB Requests girlies) and her whole name is xcb_set_dashes — that's the manual page we're vibing with today 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_set_dashes -

(yes queen, the description is literally just a dash. she's mysterious. she's giving enigma. we move.)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

✨ Request function ✨

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_set_dashes(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_gcontext_t gc, uint16_t dash_offset, uint16_t dashes_len,
       const uint8_t *dashes);

🎀 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11, aka your little pipeline to the X server herself 🫶
  • gc — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
  • dash_offset — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
  • dashes_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
  • dashes — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭

ngl bestie, four out of five of these are just placeholders. the docs said "we'll finish this later" and then never did. iconic behavior honestly 🙈

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

...so there's literally nothing here. the section exists. it's empty. she's standing there in silence, main character energy, saying absolutely nothing. no cap, that's the whole description 🍓

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

She hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. That's it, that's the tea. ☕

Any errors (if there even are any) have to be handled over in the event loop — that's just how the void-cookie girlies operate.

But wait, if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? Then use xcb_set_dashes_checked for that, bestie. See xcb-requests(3) for all the deets ✨

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors.

periodt. zero drama, zero errors, she's unbothered 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

(that's it. that's the whole section. nothing listed. a beautiful little void 🌌)
