💅 xcb_xevie_query_version(3) — XCB Requests ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the xcb_xevie_query_version page from the XCB crew 💖 this is a <hotpink>libxcb</hotpink> manpage, and yes it is exactly as empty on lore as it looks, but we're gonna walk through every single crumb of it together 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_xevie_query_version -

(yes the description is literally blank, no cap, the upstream page has nothing after the dash 🙈 we keep it real here)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xevie.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

xcb_xevie_query_version_cookie_t
       xcb_xevie_query_version(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint16_t client_major_version, uint16_t client_minor_version);

🦋 Reply datastructure 🦋

typedef struct xcb_xevie_query_version_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t server_major_version;
    uint16_t server_minor_version;
    uint8_t  pad1[20];

💜 Reply function 💜

xcb_xevie_query_version_reply_t
       *xcb_xevie_query_version_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xevie_query_version_cookie_t cookie,
       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

🌈 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌈

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, your lil hotline to the server 💫
• client_major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the docs really said "we'll finish this later" and then never did 😭)
• client_minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (same energy, fr fr)

---

🍓 REPLY FIELDS 🍓

• response_type — the type of this reply, in this case XCB_XEVIE_QUERY_VERSION. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell replies apart from each other. it's giving ✨name tag at a 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, iconic unit of measurement 💅)
• server_major_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• server_minor_version — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so… the DESCRIPTION section is literally empty in the original. nothing. void. the server said "no thoughts, head empty" 🫠 that's not me skipping it, bestie, that's just what's on the page.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns an xcb_xevie_query_version_cookie_t 🍪 — a lil cookie, love that for us.

Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_xevie_query_version_reply.

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

🔥 ERRORS 🔥
