💖 NAME 💖

xcb_xfixes_set_picture_clip_region — okay bestie, this one's a lil mystery box, the description line is literally just a dash, no cap 🫶

It lives in the XCB Requests corner of the manual (that's the manual name, if you were wondering — xcb_xfixes_se...e_clip_region(3), which is giving truncated-title energy fr fr).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xfixes.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t
       xcb_xfixes_set_picture_clip_region(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_render_picture_t picture, xcb_xfixes_region_t region,
       int16_t x_origin, int16_t y_origin);

That's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't freestyle it 💅

🌸 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. Your lil lifeline to the server, the main character of every XCB call tbh.
  • picture — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Yeah. The docs simply did not show up to the function. Not me exposing the upstream docs like this 😭
  • region — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Same vibe, same silence 💀
  • x_origin — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. It's an int16_t, that's what we know, that's what we're working with 🙈
  • y_origin — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. Also int16_t, also mysterious, also iconic in its elusiveness ✨
Lowkey important: I am not gonna invent meanings for these four, because the manual genuinely doesn't document them. If you need the deets, go read the source, bestie, I'm not gonna lie to you 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So… there's a DESCRIPTION heading, and then there is nothing under it. Empty. Void. The girls said nothing. It's giving "we ran out of time before the release" energy 🌈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. And because it's a void cookie, any errors (if there even are any) have to be handled over in the event loop — that's just how the void-cookie girlies operate.

If you'd rather handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, then use xcb_xfixes_set_picture_clip_region_checked. She's the checked twin 👑 For all the details, go read xcb-requests(3).

💅 ERRORS 💅

This request does never generate any errors. Zero. None. Clean slate, no drama, we love a low-maintenance call 😌

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Okay so this section is here… and it's empty. No references. Nothing to see. Literally nothing to also-see. Not me staring at a blank section 💀
