xcb_query_pointer(3) XCB Requests xcb_query_pointer(3)
NAME
xcb_query_pointer - get pointer coordinates
SYNOPSIS
#include <xcb/xproto.h>
Request function
xcb_query_pointer_cookie_t xcb_query_pointer(xcb_connection_t *conn,
xcb_window_t window);
Reply datastructure
typedef struct xcb_query_pointer_reply_t {
uint8_t response_type;
uint8_t same_screen;
uint16_t sequence;
uint32_t length;
xcb_window_t root;
xcb_window_t child;
int16_t root_x;
int16_t root_y;
int16_t win_x;
int16_t win_y;
uint16_t mask;
uint8_t pad0[2];
} xcb_query_pointer_reply_t;
Reply function
xcb_query_pointer_reply_t
*xcb_query_pointer_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
xcb_query_pointer_cookie_t cookie, xcb_generic_error_t **e);
REQUEST ARGUMENTS
conn The XCB connection to X11.
window A window to check if the pointer is on the same screen as
window (see the same_screen field in the reply).
REPLY FIELDS
response_type
The type of this reply, in this case XCB_QUERY_POINTER. 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).
same_screen
If same_screen is False, then the pointer is not on the same
screen as the argument window, child is None, and win_x and
win_y are zero. If same_screen is True, then win_x and win_y
are the pointer coordinates relative to the argument window's
origin, and child is the child containing the pointer, if
any.
root_y The pointer Y position, relative to root.
win_x The pointer X coordinate, relative to child, if same_screen
is true. Zero otherwise.
win_y The pointer Y coordinate, relative to child, if same_screen
is true. Zero otherwise.
mask The current logical state of the modifier keys and the
buttons. Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by
means of the protocol) may lag the physical state if device
event processing is frozen.
DESCRIPTION
Gets the root window the pointer is logically on and the pointer
coordinates relative to the root window's origin.
RETURN VALUE
Returns an xcb_query_pointer_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when
calling the reply function xcb_query_pointer_reply.
If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use
xcb_query_pointer_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
ERRORS
xcb_window_error_t
The specified window does not exist.
