💖 xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range page from the XCB Requests fam ✨ (that's the manual name, she's fancy). grab a boba, we're doing X11 internals 🧋🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range — literally the name, and that's it, the original gives us nothing else to go on here 😭 (no description, no summary, just vibes)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First up, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xc_misc.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_cookie_t
       xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range(xcb_connection_t *conn,

🦋 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint32_t start_id;
    uint32_t count;
} xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_reply_t;

🌈 Reply function

xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_reply_t
       *xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_cookie_t cookie,
       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

💅 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💅

  • conn — your XCB connection to X11. that's the whole list, she's lowkey minimalist 🫶

👑 REPLY FIELDS 👑

  • response_type — the type of this reply, which in this case is XCB_XC_MISC_GET_XID_RANGE. this field also lives in xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other, iykyk 💀
  • sequence — the sequence number of the last request the X11 server processed. like a little receipt number fr fr 🧾
  • length — how long the reply is, in words (and a word is 4 bytes, no cap) ✨
  • start_id — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the docs simply did not show up to class 🙈
  • count — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, also a mystery 💀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

(blank. the original leaves this section empty, so we're all just sitting here in silence together, staring at the void 🫠✨)

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

She returns an xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_cookie_t — cute little cookie, iconic behavior 🍪. Errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_reply.

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_xc_misc_get_xid_range_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details 💖

🚨 ERRORS 🚨

Good news bestie: this request does never generate any errors. Not a single one. She's drama-free, main character with zero conflict 👑✨
