XCB_XFIXES_DELETE_POINTER_BARRIER(3)
π xcb_xfixes_delete_pointer_barrier(3) β the manual page, but make it cute
okay bestie, so this is a page from section 3 (that's the library-functions girlies, not the shell commands) of the XCB Requests collection. and yes, we're talking about xcb_xfixes_delete_pointer_barrier. it's giving "let me remove that barrier, mwah." β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
xcb_xfixes_delete_pointer_barrier β and that's literally all the original NAME section says. no little tagline, no nothing. the manpage authors left it on read. π
π SYNOPSIS π
first things first, you gotta let the compiler know:
#include <xcb/xfixes.h>
β Request function β
xcb_void_cookie_t
xcb_xfixes_delete_pointer_barrier(xcb_connection_t *conn,
xcb_xfixes_barrier_t barrier);
look at her. two arguments, one void cookie. simple, clean, iconic. π
π¦ REQUEST ARGUMENTS π¦
connβ the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the X server, fr fr. you need her for basically everything.barrierβ the barrier you want gone. and the original docs say, and I quote, "TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED." so likeβ¦ yeah. we simply do not know more than that, and I'm not gonna make stuff up. π€·βοΈ
π DESCRIPTION π
bestie. the DESCRIPTION section of the original is empty. like, zero words. a whole ghost town. π»
I cannot invent lore that isn't there β that's the one thing I'm not allowed to do β so: this is where the description would be if there were one. it's giving "section pending." the vibe is immaculate and also completely blank. π
π RETURN VALUE π
she returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. cute, right? but here's the tea: if any errors happen, you've gotta handle them over in the event loop. no shortcuts, bestie.
unless⦠you wanna handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead. in that case you want the checked version:
xcb_xfixes_delete_pointer_barrier_checked
and if you need the full rundown on how any of this cookie business works, go read xcb-requests(3). it's the blueprint, iykyk. π
π₯ ERRORS π₯
okay so the actual best news on this whole page:
This request does never generate any errors.
no errors. none. zero. she's flawless, she's unproblematic, she's the moment. periodt. π β¨
π SEE ALSO π
the original SEE ALSO section is empty, bestie β there's nothing listed to point you at. so we just vibe here in silence. π«Ά
π§ AUTHOR π§
this whole thing was generated from xfixes.xml. if you spot something wrong or wanna send improvements, hit up xcb@lists.freedesktop.org β they're the ones taking corrections. π¬
and that's the whole page, no cap. sending you off with the official receipts: this is from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and that's the whole entire vibe. go delete a pointer barrier, you absolute main character. ππ¦πΈ
