GLXGETCURRENTDISPLAY(3G)

📦 version 1.1, in centos-stream 9, fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 GLXGETCURRENTDISPLAY 💖

okay bestie, so this whole page is about glXGetCurrentDisplay — the little GLX function whose entire job is telling you which display your current context is living on. that's it. that's the whole girlboss. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

glXGetCurrentDisplay — get display for current context 🖥️💅

🎀 C SPECIFICATION 🎀

Display * glXGetCurrentDisplay( void )
delim $$

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: glXGetCurrentDisplay returns the display for the current context. like, the display your current context is attached to. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

and if there is no context current? then it hands you back NULL. nothing. void. the empty iced coffee of return values. 😭

important bestie moment: glXGetCurrentDisplay returns client-side information. it does not make a round trip to the server, and therefore it does not flush any pending events. so don't be out here expecting it to poke the server for you — she's local only, no cap. 🔥

👑 NOTES 👑

glXGetCurrentDisplay is only supported if the GLX version is 1.2 or greater. older than that and it's giving unsupported, periodt. 💀

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this cutie came to you straight from the GLXGETCURRENTDISPLAY() page, and yes, the header at the top of this whole thing literally says GLXGETCURRENTDISPLAY() too — the page name is doing main character energy twice. mwah. 💜✨
