xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator(3)

💖 xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator, a lil request function from XCB Requests (that's the X protocol binding situation, iykyk). it lives in the XKB corner of libxcb and it's here to set a named indicator, bestie. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator — and honestly? the description slot is just… empty. blank. the void. not a single word was typed there in the original, so i'm not gonna make one up for you either. we respect the silence 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first up, you gotta pull in the header, like:

#include <xcb/xkb.h>

🎀 Request function 🎀

and here's the actual function signature, copy it exactly, don't you dare get creative:

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xkb_device_spec_t deviceSpec,
       xcb_xkb_led_class_spec_t ledClass, xcb_xkb_id_spec_t ledID,
       xcb_atom_t indicator, uint8_t setState, uint8_t on,
       uint8_t setMap, uint8_t createMap, uint8_t map_flags,
       uint8_t map_whichGroups, uint8_t map_groups,
       uint8_t map_whichMods, uint8_t map_realMods, uint16_t map_vmods,
       uint32_t map_ctrls);

that's a lot of arguments, and yes, that's the point. she's thorough. 👑

🫶 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🫶

every single one of these, no skips:

• conn — the XCB connection to X11. your link to the mothership, basically. 💜
• deviceSpec — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah bestie, they left it blank. iconic of them honestly 😭
• ledClass — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🙈
• ledID — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🍓
• indicator — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. ✨
• setState — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🧚
• on — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💀
• setMap — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🌈
• createMap — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. ⭐
• map_flags — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🎀
• map_whichGroups — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💅
• map_groups — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🌸
• map_whichMods — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🦋
• map_realMods — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 💖
• map_vmods — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 🔥
• map_ctrls — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. 👑

not me documenting a manpage where the entire argument list says NOT YET DOCUMENTED 😭 that's just how the original is, bestie, i'm keeping it 100% as-is. no cap.

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

…and the DESCRIPTION section? empty. literally nothing under it in the original. she said "no thoughts, head empty" and honestly, slay. 🫶

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

so what do you get back? an xcb_void_cookie_t. that's it. that's the whole return value.

and here's the important part, bestie: errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop. you don't get them handed to you right here, you gotta go catch them later like a lil detective 🕵️♀️

but WAIT — if you'd rather handle errors directly, there's another way:

use xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator_checked instead, together with xcb_request_check. the full deets live over in xcb-requests(3). go read it, i'll wait 💜

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

okay this one's easy:

This request does never generate any errors.

that's it. that's the whole section. no errors, no drama, no stress. she's low maintenance fr fr ✨

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

…nothing. the SEE ALSO section is empty in the original, so there's nothing to see and nothing to also. a moment of silence for the cross-references that never were 🎀

and that's the whole page!! 💖 this one came from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17.0, and it's the xcb_xkb_set_named_indicator(3) page itself. thanks for reading with me, bestie — go forth and set those named indicators, you absolute main character 🎀✨🦋💅
