XCB_X_PRINT_PRINT_GET_PAGE_DIMENSIONS_REPLY(3)

🎀 xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions — a whole manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so. this is a page from the XCB Requests manual set, and the function we're obsessing over today is xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions from libxcb. it's giving "X Print, but make it page dimensions". let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions — that's literally it, the original leaves the description blank, so we're matching energy

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xprint.h>

💖 Request function 💖

xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_cookie_t
       xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_x_print_pcontext_t context);

🦋 Reply datastructure 🦋

okay so this is the struct you get back, and yes every single field is staying exactly where it is, no cap:

typedef struct xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t width;
    uint16_t height;
    uint16_t offset_x;
    uint16_t offset_y;
    uint16_t reproducible_width;
    uint16_t reproducible_height;
} xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_reply_t;

⭐ Reply function ⭐

xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_reply_t
       *xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_cookie_t cookie,
       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

💜 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💜

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your little red string to the server, iykyk.
• context — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. not me leaving it exactly as upstream did 😭

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — the type of this reply, and in this case it's XCB_X_PRINT_PRINT_GET_PAGE_DIMENSIONS. this field also lives in the xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other. very "which one of y'all is which" energy fr fr.
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
• length — the length of the reply, in words. and a word is 4 bytes, bestie, don't forget.
• width — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• height — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• offset_x — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• offset_y — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• reproducible_width — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• reproducible_height — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

(yeah the TODO squad is out in full force here. that's what the original says, so that's what you get 🫶)

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

the original page literally has nothing under DESCRIPTION. a blank. an empty vibe. so there's nothing for me to spill here — the section exists, and it is stunningly silent ✨

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Returns an xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_cookie_t. that's the cookie 🍪 — the real tea comes later.

Errors have to be handled when you call the reply function, xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_reply.

If you'd rather handle your errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_x_print_print_get_page_dimensions_unchecked. see xcb-requests(3) for the deets.

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors.

iconic behaviour honestly. zero drama. she simply does not miss.

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the original page lists nothing here. not a single reference. a whole void. respect. 🕳️
