xcb_test_fake_input(3)

💅 xcb_test_fake_input — the XCB Requests girlies know

okay bestie, so this one lives in section 3 of the manual (that's the "library functions" section, iykyk), and it's called xcb_test_fake_input. That's the whole NAME section right there, no cap — the original literally leaves the description blank. We move.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xtest.h>

🎀 Request function

Here's the whole signature, character for character, don't @ me:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_test_fake_input(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint8_t type, uint8_t detail, uint32_t time, xcb_window_t root,
       int16_t rootX, int16_t rootY, uint8_t deviceid);

---

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil link to the server, the main character of every XCB request fr.
• type — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. the docs just. aren't there. iconic of them honestly 💀
• detail — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• time — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• root — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• rootX — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• rootY — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• deviceid — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

not me reading a manual page that just says TODO seven times in a row 😭 the mystery is lowkey the vibe though.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so… there isn't one. the DESCRIPTION section is empty. nothing. void. the original page just moves straight on to the next heading and honestly? slay, I guess. no notes, because there are no notes. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

This one hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. and here's the thing — if any errors happen, you have to handle them over in the event loop, okay? that's the deal.

But if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_test_fake_input_checked. peek xcb-requests(3) for all the deets on how that works. 💖

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

plot twist: this request does never generate any errors. never ever. zero. none. that's just what it says. so if you were bracing for chaos — breathe, bestie, there is none. ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

…it's empty. there are no cross-references listed. that's it, that's the section. moving on. 💅

and that's the whole thing, bestie 🎀 this came out of X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yeah the page is called xcb_test_fake_input(3) — now go fake some input, you absolute legend. 🌈💜
