💖 xcb_xfixes_create_region_from_bitmap — XCB Requests 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a lil' XCB request from the XCB Requests manual and it's literally just a function that goes brrr. it's giving "short and sweet", no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_xfixes_create_region_from_bitmap — yeah so, the description line is literally empty in the original 😭 nobody wrote one. it's giving mystery. it's giving enigma. it's giving "the maintainers were busy". we move. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first you gotta pull in the header, periodt:

#include <xcb/xfixes.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_xfixes_create_region_from_bitmap(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xfixes_region_t region, xcb_pixmap_t bitmap);

like. look at it. three args, one cookie, zero drama. 🔥

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11, aka your lil' hotline to the X server. she's the main character here. 👑
  • region — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. bestie I'm so serious, that's what the page says, I'm not gatekeeping from you, the docs themselves just said "idk yet" 💀
  • bitmap — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy. same void. same "we'll get to it" 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. the DESCRIPTION section is empty. like, genuinely empty. not a single sentence. not even a vibe. it's just vibes and silence. 🌈

I'm not gonna make stuff up for you because that would be fake of me, so: the original page says nothing here. nothing!! and honestly? iconic of it. ✨

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

she hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. 🍓

and here's the tea: any errors (if there are any) have to be handled over in the event loop, not right here. so don't come crying to the return value, she doesn't carry that. 😌

but wait — if you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then you want xcb_xfixes_create_region_from_bitmap_checked. bam. that's your girl. go read xcb-requests(3) for the details, fr fr. 📚

💅 ERRORS 💅

This request does never generate any errors.

not "rarely". not "usually not". never. she is flawless. she does not miss. no error paths, no sadness, no tears. slay. ✨

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

nothing here bestie. the SEE ALSO section is empty, so there's literally nothing to see, which is lowkey hilarious for a section literally called SEE ALSO. 😭 I'm not inventing references for you — the original lists none, so we list none. 🫶

💖 AUTHOR 💖

Generated from xfixes.xml. if you want corrections or improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org — they're the ones who actually know things. 📬

and that's the whole page, bestie!! X Version 11 energy, shipped with libxcb 1.17.0 — go forth and create regions from bitmaps responsibly, mwah 💋💖✨
