✨ Tk_IdToWindow β€” the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Tk_IdToWindow from the Tk Library Procedures section (that's section 3tk, iykyk) πŸŽ€


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Tk_IdToWindow β€” find Tk's window information for an X window. that's it, that's the whole job. she's a looker-upper πŸ”βœ¨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <tk.h>

Tk_Window
Tk_IdToWindow(display, window)

like yes, two args, returns a Tk_Window, we love a simple signature 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • Display *display (in) β€” the X display that's holding the window. it's giving "where is she at" πŸ“
  • Window window (in) β€” the X id for the window. her government name, basically πŸ’…

both are inputs, no outputs, no surprises, no drama 🧚


πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

okay so here's the tea πŸ“: you hand over an X window identifier plus the X display it corresponds to, and this procedure gives you back the matching Tk_Window handle. that's the glow-up β€” raw X id in, shiny Tk handle out ✨

and if there's no Tk_Window that corresponds to window? then you get NULL back. not an error, not a crash, just NULL. she simply says "never heard of her" πŸ˜­πŸ’€

heads up bestie: NULL is the whole answer for "no match". plan for it, don't be out here dereferencing vibes πŸ™ˆ

🌈 KEYWORDS 🌈

X window id β€” periodt πŸ’…
