XCB_SYNC_COUNTER_NOTIFY_EVENT_T(3)

💫 xcb_sync_counter_notify_event_t(3) 💫

okay bestie, so this is a page out of the XCB Events manual — that's the xcb_sync_counter_notify_event_t(3) one, section 3, the "library functions" zone. she's a data structure, she's a whole event, and she's about to be your new hyperfixation. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_sync_counter_notify_event_t — no description, no tagline, she simply is. iconique, mysterious, main character energy, we respect it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull her in:

#include <xcb/sync.h>

🎀 Event datastructure 🎀

here's the whole girl, character for character, do not touch her:

typedef struct xcb_sync_counter_notify_event_t {
    uint8_t            response_type;
    uint8_t            kind;
    uint16_t           sequence;
    xcb_sync_counter_t counter;
    xcb_sync_int64_t   wait_value;
    xcb_sync_int64_t   counter_value;
    xcb_timestamp_t    timestamp;
    uint16_t           count;
    uint8_t            destroyed;
    uint8_t            pad0;
} xcb_sync_counter_notify_event_t;

look at that struct layout. the alignment? flawless. the padding? she has pad0, she's got extra room, she's thriving 💖

🔥 EVENT FIELDS 🔥

time for the field-by-field breakdown, and yes we're going through every single one, no skipping, periodt:

• response_type — this is the type of the event, and in this case it's XCB_SYNC_COUNTER_NOTIFY. 🎉 bonus: this field also lives inside xcb_generic_event_t, so you can peek at it to tell your events apart from each other. it's the little name tag at the party, iykyk.
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request that the X11 server processed. basically the receipt number, lowkey.
• kind — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• counter — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• wait_value — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• counter_value — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• timestamp — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• count — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• destroyed — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

ngl bestie, a lot of these are literally just sitting there saying NOT YET DOCUMENTED 😭 the maintainers haven't written the lore yet. that's the canon as it stands, so that's what we're telling you. no cap, no invented details, we do not make things up in this group chat 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

...and that's it. there's no description text here. the section exists, she's just standing there, silent, ethereal, giving absolutely nothing ✨ (this is the actual state of the page — we're not hiding anything from you 💜)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

nothing listed. no friends, no companions, no cross-references. she's independent, she's self-made, she's an only child 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 one last thing, the cute little sign-off: this beauty comes from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17, and she's an XCB Events girlie through and through. slay, read responsibly, and go forth and handle those counter notify events like the icon you are 🎀🦋🌸
