💖 xcb_xkb_set_compat_map(3) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the XCB Requests corner of the man pages (section 3, library calls, iykyk), and today's main character is xcb_xkb_set_compat_map. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_xkb_set_compat_map —

and that's it. that's the whole name section. the dash is just sitting there. no description. it's giving mysterious. 🙈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <xcb/xkb.h>

🦋 Request function

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_xkb_set_compat_map(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xkb_device_spec_t deviceSpec, uint8_t recomputeActions,
       uint8_t truncateSI, uint8_t groups, uint16_t firstSI,
       uint16_t nSI, const xcb_xkb_sym_interpret_t *si, const
       xcb_xkb_mod_def_t *groupMaps);

like, look at that parameter list. it's long. it's slaying. it takes what it takes. 💅

✨ REQUEST ARGUMENTS ✨

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11. your link to the mothership, basically. 🔥
  • deviceSpec — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. (the docs really said "we'll get to it" and then never got to it 😭)
  • recomputeActions — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • truncateSI — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • groups — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • firstSI — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • nSI — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • si — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
  • groupMaps — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
no cap, every single one of these is a TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. except conn. we're all just out here rawdogging the XKB spec. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

...there isn't one. the description section is empty. it's a vibe. it's a void. it's the silence before the compiler yells at you. 💀

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

it hands you back an xcb_void_cookie_t. errors, if there are any, have to be handled over in the event loop — that's just how the void-cookie life goes.

but if you're the type who wants to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead? then use xcb_xkb_set_compat_map_checked. bestie has options. see xcb-requests(3) for the deets. ✨

✨ ERRORS ✨

this request does never generate any errors.

periodt. zero. none. it's the chillest request in the building. 🌸

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

empty. nothing. not a single reference. it's giving tumbleweed. 🍓

✨ AUTHOR ✨

generated from xkb.xml. contact xcb@lists.freedesktop.org for corrections and improvements. (they're literally asking for feedback, so if you find a typo, go be the main character and email them 💌)
