💜 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 💜

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, aka your little hotline to the server. 🫶
• cursor — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, the docs literally said "not yet" and left. iconic of them. 😭

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — the type of this reply, in this case XCB_XFIXES_GET_CURSOR_NAME. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used 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.
• length — the length of the reply, in words. and a word is 4 bytes, so don't come for me. ✨
• atom — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• nbytes — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

...so this section is empty in the original, bestie. no description, no vibes, just a blank page serving absolutely nothing. we move. 🧚

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

You get back an xcb_xfixes_get_cursor_name_cookie_t. lowkey the cookie is just the appetizer — errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_xfixes_get_cursor_name_reply. 🍓

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_xfixes_get_cursor_name_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
