💫 xcb_set_font_path — from the XCB Requests fam, page xcb_set_font_path(3) 💫

okay bestie sit down, we're doing an XCB request page together and it's gonna be a whole vibe 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_set_font_path — and that's literally it, the description line is empty, no cap 🙈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xproto.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_set_font_path(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint16_t font_qty, const xcb_str_t *font);

that's the whole signature, copy it exactly bestie, don't freestyle 💅

✨ REQUEST ARGUMENTS ✨

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. it's giving "the link to your X server," iconic 🫶
  • font_qty — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah girl, the docs said "we'll get to it" and then never did 😭
  • font — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same void, fr fr 💀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so… there is no description. the section exists and it's just empty. nothing here. not a single line. it's giving minimalist main character energy and honestly? respect 🌸

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

this one hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. and because it's a void cookie, any errors (if any even show up) have to be handled over in the event loop, not right here in your face. that's just how it works ✨

if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then you want the xcb_set_font_path_checked version of this function. go read xcb-requests(3) for the whole rundown, it explains the details 💜

✨ ERRORS ✨

good news for once: this request does never generate any errors. zero. none. not a single one. slay 💅

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

nothing listed here — the section is empty, so there are no references to hand you. no crumbs. 🦋

✨ AUTHOR ✨

generated from xproto.xml. if you spot something wrong or wanna send improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org — they're the ones who take corrections and improvements, so send your notes their way 📬

and that's the page bestie, you ate it, periodt 👑

💖 sign-off corner 💖 — this one's living under X Version 11, shipped with libxcb 1.17.0, and the page footer is stamped xcb_set_font_path(3). go forth and set those font paths, gorgeous 🌈✨
