💜 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💜

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, obvi. your lil hotline to the server 🔥
• desired_major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, the docs said "idk yet" and we're just relaying that fr fr 😭
• desired_minor_version — also TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same void 🙈

🍓 REPLY FIELDS 🍓

• response_type — the type of this reply, which in this case is XCB_SYNC_INITIALIZE. This field is also chillin' inside the xcb_generic_reply_t, and you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other, like name tags at a party 🎀
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server. it's the receipts, basically 🧾
• length — the length of the reply, in words. and yes, a word is 4 bytes, not a vibe 💀
• major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the plot hole remains 🕳️
• minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same hole, different field 🙈
