🦋 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🦋

• conn — the XCB connection to X11, your lil hotline to the server 🫶
• window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah fr, the docs said "we'll get to it" and then never did 😭
• screen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, bestie, nobody wrote this one either 🙈

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — what kind of reply this is! in this case it's XCB_XINERAMA_GET_SCREEN_SIZE. this field also lives in the xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other 👑
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request the X11 server actually processed ⭐
• length — how long the reply is, measured in words (and a word is 4 bytes, no cap) 💜
• width — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
• height — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
• window — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭
• screen — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 😭

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

It hands you back an xcb_xinerama_get_screen_size_cookie_t 🍪 — and bestie, listen, errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_xinerama_get_screen_size_reply.

But if you'd rather catch your errors in the event loop instead? use xcb_xinerama_get_screen_size_unchecked and vibe accordingly. check xcb-requests(3) for the deets 🔥
