✨ xcb_sync_list_system_counters(3) ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we're looking at xcb_sync_list_system_counters(3) from the libxcb crew 💅 this one lives in the SYNC extension part of XCB and it's giving "let me see your system counters" energy.

💜 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💜

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil phone line to the server, basically. main character energy fr fr.

---

👑 REPLY FIELDS 👑

• response_type — the type of this reply, in this case XCB_SYNC_LIST_SYSTEM_COUNTERS. this field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell replies apart from each other. it's the name tag at the party 🎀
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
• length — the length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes). yes bestie, 4 bytes. not vibes, bytes.
• counters_len — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the manpage said what it said, we don't make stuff up here 💀

🌷 DESCRIPTION 🌷

lowkey the original DESCRIPTION section is empty. nothing. a blank canvas. the silence is loud 🙈 so we move on with grace and dignity.

---

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

Returns an xcb_sync_list_system_counters_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_sync_list_system_counters_reply.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_sync_list_system_counters_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

so like — cookie first, then you go get the actual reply. that's the whole two-step. obsessed with the drama of it ✨

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors.

not one. not ever. it's the chillest request in the building 🌈

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the original SEE ALSO section is empty too. no cross-refs, no crumbs. just vibes and the void 🕳️

and that's the whole page bestie! this one came from X Version 11, shipping with libxcb 1.17.0 — so go forth, list those system counters, and remember: handle your errors, read your cookies, and never skip the reply function 💖✨🎀🦋
