πŸ’… 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." ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

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. πŸ™ˆ


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

first things first, you gotta let the compiler know:

#include <xcb/xfixes.h>

⭐ Request function ⭐

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. πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ REQUEST ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • conn β€” the XCB connection to X11. your lil hotline to the X server, fr fr. you need her for basically everything.
  • barrier β€” the barrier you want gone. and the original docs say, and I quote, "TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED." so like… yeah. we simply do not know more than that, and I'm not gonna make stuff up. πŸ€·β™€οΈ

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

bestie. the DESCRIPTION section of the original is empty. like, zero words. a whole ghost town. πŸ‘»

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. πŸ’€


🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

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. πŸ“–


πŸ”₯ ERRORS πŸ”₯

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. πŸ’…βœ¨


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the original SEE ALSO section is empty, bestie β€” there's nothing listed to point you at. so we just vibe here in silence. 🫢

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. πŸ“¬


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. πŸ’œπŸ¦‹πŸŒΈ
