Protoco...REQUESTS(3)

💅 Protoco...REQUESTS(3) — like, the one from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew

okay so bestie, welcome to X11::Protocol::Ext::BIG_REQUESTS(3) — yes the manual page header literally says Protoco...REQUESTS(3) because we ran out of room and honestly? iconic truncation energy. this is the perl doc for the X11 protocol Big Requests extension and it's short but it delivers. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

X11::Protocol::Ext::BIG_REQUESTS — a Perl module for the X11 protocol Big Requests extension. that's the whole name. she's self-explanatory and she knows it. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe in three lines:

use X11::Protocol;
$x = X11::Protocol->new($ENV{'DISPLAY'});
$x->init_extension('BIG_REQUESTS') or die;

that or die is not a suggestion, bestie. that's main character energy. 💀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: this module gets used by the X11::Protocol module to participate in the 'Big Requests' extension to the X protocol. it's a team player. a supporting cast member who lowkey runs the whole show.

once it's initialized, it transparently lets you send requests bigger than 262140 (65535 * 4) bytes. no cap, that's the actual number. go big or go home. 🔥

and the new maximum request length is available to you as $x->maximum_request_length — she's right there, just ask her. ✨

fr fr: the word "transparently" is doing a lot of work here and it earned it. you don't have to do anything extra once it's initialized.
