💖 xcb_x_print_create_context — the XCB Requests girlie ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>xcb_x_print_create_context</pink> page, straight out of the XCB Requests corner of the man universe. this one is a ✨ request function ✨ and ngl the docs are... a work in progress. we move. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first thing's first, you gotta include the header, no cap:

#include <xcb/xprint.h>

🎀 Request function

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

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_x_print_create_context(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint32_t context_id, uint32_t printerNameLen, uint32_t localeLen,
       const xcb_x_print_string8_t *printerName, const
       xcb_x_print_string8_t *locale);

💅 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💅

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the server, iconic.
  • context_id — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah girl, that's literally all it says 😭
  • printerNameLen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. bestie the docs really said "figure it out" 🙈
  • localeLen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same mystery 🕵️
  • printerName — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. it's giving unnamed main character fr fr
  • locale — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the last one and honestly? still a mystery ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so... there is no description. empty. the void. the manpage said 💀 nothing and left. i cannot invent lore for you, that would be a crime (and also lying about a manpage, which, no). so here we are, vibing in the blank space together 🫶✨

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

it returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. periodt. 💅

any errors (if there even are any) have to be handled in the event loop. that's just how void cookies roll, iykyk.

but wait — if you wanna handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_x_print_create_context_checked (the checked girlie, the responsible one, the one who calls her mom back). see xcb-requests(3) for all the deets. ✨

😭 ERRORS 😭

ok so good news: this request does never generate any errors. like, ever. zero. none. she's a peaceful queen and she will not be starting drama. no error codes, no bad vibes, no nothing. slay. 💖

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

there is nothing listed here. not a single reference. the SEE ALSO section is empty, bestie — a little lonely, a little mysterious, kind of iconic in a minimal way honestly. 🦋

👑 AUTHOR 👑

generated from xprint.xml. if you got corrections or improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org — they're taking notes, and honestly they'd probably love to hear from you. 🎀

mwah — and that's the whole page. this little gem came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and that's the vibe check passed. take care of her, she's undocumented but she's ours 💜✨🌸
