✨ xcb_xv_grab_port — the XCB Requests one 💖

okay so bestie, we're looking at xcb_xv_grab_port(3) from the XCB Requests family, part of libxcb 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

xcb_xv_grab_port — that's literally it, the manpage gives us no description and we respect the mystery 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <xcb/xv.h>

✨ Request function

xcb_xv_grab_port_cookie_t xcb_xv_grab_port(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xv_port_t port, xcb_timestamp_t time);

🦋 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_xv_grab_port_reply_t {
    uint8_t  response_type;
    uint8_t  result;
    uint16_t sequence;
    uint32_t length;
} xcb_xv_grab_port_reply_t;

💜 Reply function

xcb_xv_grab_port_reply_t *xcb_xv_grab_port_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_xv_grab_port_cookie_t cookie, xcb_generic_error_t **e);

🍓 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🍓

• conn — your XCB connection to X11, the lil lifeline, the main character 🌈
• port — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. bestie the docs said "we'll do it later" and never came back 😭
• time — also TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy fr fr 💀

---

👑 REPLY FIELDS 👑

• response_type — the type of this reply, which in this case is XCB_XV_GRAB_PORT. this field is also chillin' 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 processed, like a lil receipt number ✨
• length — the length of the reply, in words (and a word is 4 bytes, no cap) 📏
• result — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. yeah. yeah. 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

<nothing. absolutely nothing. the description section is empty and honestly? iconic.</nothing>

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns an xcb_xv_grab_port_cookie_t. and listen, errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_xv_grab_port_reply — that's the whole vibe 🫶

If you'd rather handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_xv_grab_port_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details 🌸

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

This request does never generate any errors. zero. none. flawless behavior, we love to see it 👑
