xcb_shape_combine(3)

💖 xcb_shape_combine — the XCB manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to xcb_shape_combine(3), a page from the XCB Requests collection ✨ this is the one that lives in section 3 of your man pages, and yes we're gonna read it together, hand in hand, no skipping 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_shape_combine — and that's literally it, the manpage itself leaves the description blank bestie, so we are not gonna invent one, we're just gonna hold space for it 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/shape.h>

🌸 Request function 🌸

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_shape_combine(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_shape_op_t operation, xcb_shape_kind_t destination_kind,
       xcb_shape_kind_t source_kind, xcb_window_t destination_window,
       int16_t x_offset, int16_t y_offset, xcb_window_t source_window);

look at that signature. she's long, she's detailed, she's iconic 👑

---

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the X server, fr fr 💜
• operation — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. the docs said "not today". we're not gonna make stuff up about it, that's not the vibe 🙈
• destination_kind — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same honesty ✨
• source_kind — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the mystery continues 🕵️
• destination_window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. still a secret, still slaying 💅
• x_offset — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. an int16_t with no lore attached 😭
• y_offset — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. its sibling in undocumented-ness 🎀
• source_window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. last one, also a mystery, but we love her 🌸

ngl bestie, every single one of these arguments says TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED and that is the entire truth of it. no cap. we are not filling in blanks with guesses, that's a hard no 🙅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

...it's empty. literally nothing here. the description section is giving "silent protagonist" and honestly? respect. it says nothing, we say nothing, periodt 💀

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's the whole deal ✨

errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop — so don't just stare at the cookie expecting drama, the drama shows up later at the event loop party 🎉

if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_shape_combine_checked. see xcb-requests(3) for details 💖

---

🍓 ERRORS 🍓

this request does never generate any errors. never ever. zero. none. a peaceful, unbothered, moisturized icon 🧖♀️💅

---

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

...nothing listed. the see-also section is empty, she's mysterious, she's minimal, we move on 🦋
