Overview
This enables the BIG-REQUESTS extension, which allows for requests larger than 262140 bytes in length. When enabled, if the 16-bit length field is zero, it is immediately followed by a 32-bit length field specifying the length of the request in 4-byte units.
Return value
Returns an xcb_big_requests_enable_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_big_requests_enable_reply.
If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_big_requests_enable_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
Errors
This request does never generate any errors.
