💖 xcb_xinerama_query_version — a manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the XCB Requests collection (that's the C binding to X11, the thing keeping your windows on screen since forever). Sit down, grab a boba, we're learning about xcb_xinerama_query_version.

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_xinerama_query_version — no description given, and honestly? iconic mysterious behaviour 💅 the manpage literally just leaves it blank. We move.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

First things first, you gotta include the header:

#include <xcb/xinerama.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

xcb_xinerama_query_version_cookie_t
       xcb_xinerama_query_version(xcb_connection_t *conn, uint8_t major,
       uint8_t minor);

🦋 Reply datastructure 🦋

typedef struct xcb_xinerama_query_version_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  pad0;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
    uint16_t major;
    uint16_t minor;
} xcb_xinerama_query_version_reply_t;

⭐ Reply function ⭐

xcb_xinerama_query_version_reply_t
       *xcb_xinerama_query_version_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xinerama_query_version_cookie_t cookie,
       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

🫶 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🫶

• conn — your XCB connection to X11. the whole pipeline to the server, the main character fr.
• major — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah babe, they left us on read for this one 😭
• minor — also TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, same void 🙈

---

🌈 REPLY FIELDS 🌈

• response_type — the type of this reply, which in this case is XCB_XINERAMA_QUERY_VERSION. it also lives inside xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other. lowkey the bouncer at the club checking IDs 🪪
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server. it's giving ✨receipts✨
• length — how long the reply is, in words. and no, not words like sentences — a word here is 4 bytes. math girlies rise 🧮
• major — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀
• minor — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

There is no description. The void. The silence. We respect it. ✨

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

You get back an xcb_xinerama_query_version_cookie_t. (A cookie! Cute, right? it's your little claim ticket 🍪)

Errors? You don't deal with them here — you handle them when you call the reply function xcb_xinerama_query_version_reply.

But if you'd rather catch errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_xinerama_query_version_unchecked. The details on all that live in xcb-requests(3), so go read it, bestie.
