xcb_xfixes_change_cursor(3)

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_xfixes_change_cursor — bestie, the name section literally gave us nothing, no description, zero, nada 💀 so we're just gonna say it: it's an XCB request from the XFixes extension, it's called xcb_xfixes_change_cursor, and the rest of this page is us finding out together 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First things first, you gotta pull in the header, okay?

#include <xcb/xfixes.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_xfixes_change_cursor(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_cursor_t source, xcb_cursor_t destination);

That's the whole signature, no cap. Three args, one cookie back. 🍪

---

🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, aka your lil hotline to the display server. Everything goes through her 💅
• source — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. like… the manpage really said "figure it out" 😭
• destination — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same void, same unanswered question 🙈

Not me being unable to tell you what source and destination actually do — because the docs literally say TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. I'm not making that up, bestie, that's verbatim what's in the source. We stay honest in this house 💖

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so… there is no description. The section exists. It is empty. It's giving "the group chat went quiet" energy 🌈 We're keeping the heading because the structure matters, but the vibes inside are just silence and vibes.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

You get back an xcb_void_cookie_t, which is the "no actual data, but here's your receipt" cookie. Any errors? They do not come back to you here — you gotta handle them in the event loop, fr fr 🔥

But wait, there's another route: if you'd rather handle errors directly, use xcb_request_check instead of vibing with the cookie. In that case you want the checked version:

• xcb_xfixes_change_cursor_checked — the one you pair with xcb_request_check.

All the deets live in xcb-requests(3), go read her 👑

👑 ERRORS 👑

This request does never generate any errors. Never. Not once. Not ever. Iconic behaviour honestly, the reliability is unmatched 💅✨

---

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

Nothing here. Empty. The SEE ALSO section is a ghost town and we're respecting her privacy 🎀

And that's the whole page, bestie!! 💖 This lil cutie came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and yes the manual page is literally titled xcb_xfixes_change_cursor(3) — take care of her, she's doing her best out here 🎀✨🦋
