xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable(3)

💖 xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the XCB Requests manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions girlies 💅). It's xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable, and it's genuinely so niche but we're gonna understand it together, fr fr.

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable — and that's it. No description. The original just… leaves it blank. Not me being lazy, the manpage literally has nothing there. Iconic of it, honestly. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🎀 Request function

#include <xcb/xf86dri.h>

xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_cookie_t
       xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint32_t screen, uint32_t drawable);

🦋 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint32_t hw_drawable_handle;
} xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_reply_t;

⭐ Reply function

xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_reply_t
       *xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_cookie_t cookie,
       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

💜 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💜

• conn — your XCB connection to X11. the whole main character of every request, lowkey.
• screen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. the manpage said what it said. 🙈
• drawable — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. also a mystery. we move. 💀

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — the type of this reply, and in this specific case it's XCB_XF86DRI_CREATE_DRAWABLE. This field also lives inside xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it 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. chronological queen. 👑
• length — how long the reply is, measured in words (and a word is 4 bytes, no cap).
• hw_drawable_handle — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. she's undocumented and she's thriving. ✨

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Nothing here, bestie. The original DESCRIPTION section is completely empty — it's giving "showed up to class and the professor never arrived". We simply vibe with the mystery. 🦋

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

Returns an xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_cookie_t. Cookies are cute, but errors are not — and you have to handle them when you call the reply function, xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_reply.

If you'd rather handle your errors inside the event loop instead, use xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for the full tea. ☕

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

This request does never generate any errors. not one. zero. clean slate, flawless, no drama. 💅

---

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

Empty. Truly nothing listed. The original left this section a blank canvas and we respect the artistic choice. 🎨

and that's the whole page, no notes ✨

this little legend came to you courtesy of X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yes — xcb_xf86dri_create_drawable(3) — slay, periodt. 👑💖
