- conn
- The XCB connection to X11.
- drawable
- The drawable (Window or Pixmap) of which the geometry will
be received.
- response_type
- The type of this reply, in this case XCB_GET_GEOMETRY. This field
is also present in the xcb_generic_reply_t and can be used to tell
replies apart from each other.
- sequence
- The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.
- length
- The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).
- depth
- The depth of the drawable (bits per pixel for the object).
- root
- Root window of the screen containing drawable.
- x
- The X coordinate of drawable. If drawable is a window, the
coordinate specifies the upper-left outer corner relative to its parent's
origin. If drawable is a pixmap, the X coordinate is always 0.
- y
- The Y coordinate of drawable. If drawable is a window, the
coordinate specifies the upper-left outer corner relative to its parent's
origin. If drawable is a pixmap, the Y coordinate is always 0.
- width
- The width of drawable.
- height
- The height of drawable.
- border_width
- The border width (in pixels).
Gets the current geometry of the specified drawable (either
Window or Pixmap).
Returns an xcb_get_geometry_cookie_t. Errors have to be
handled when calling the reply function xcb_get_geometry_reply.
If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use
xcb_get_geometry_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for
details.
