xcb_shape_offset(3)

💖 xcb_shape_offset — the XCB request that slides your shape around 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is from XCB Requests, aka the xcb_shape_offset(3) page, and it is short. like, suspiciously short. but we're gonna cover every crumb of it anyway because that's the vibe. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_shape_offset — literally just the name, the description slot is empty, that's not me being lazy, that's the manpage being mysterious 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first, you gotta let the compiler know where this lives:

#include <xcb/shape.h>

🌸 Request function 🌸

here's the whole entire function signature, no cap, copy it exactly:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_shape_offset(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_shape_kind_t destination_kind,
       xcb_window_t destination_window, int16_t x_offset,
       int16_t y_offset);

look at her. she's an xcb_void_cookie_t. she returns nothing but a cookie and a dream. 💜

---

✨ REQUEST ARGUMENTS ✨

here's every single argument, and I need you to brace yourself because the docs are... going through something:

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server. 🌈
• destination_kind — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. that's it. that's the documentation. we move. 🙈
• destination_window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy. iconic honestly. 😭
• x_offset — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. no notes. 💀
• y_offset — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. and that's the last one. slay. ✨

fr fr bestie, I'm not hiding anything from you — the original page really does say TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. for all four of those. I would never gatekeep. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

there is no description. the section exists. it is empty. it's giving minimalism. it's giving the void stared back. 💀

like, the heading DESCRIPTION shows up and then nothing follows it. no prose, no lore, no backstory. just vibes and silence. 🌸

---

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

okay here's actual info, pay attention bestie:

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

and if you're the kind of main character who wants to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_shape_offset_checked. 💅

see xcb-requests(3) for details. 🎀

---

✨ ERRORS ✨

good news, queen: this request does never generate any errors. not one. zero. none. flawless behaviour, no drama. 👑

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

bestie... there's nothing here either. the SEE ALSO section is just a heading with nothing under it. no cross-references, no friends, no mutuals. she stands alone. 🦋
