xcb_composite_redirect_window3

Request arguments

conn

The XCB connection to X11.

window

The root of the hierarchy to redirect to off-screen storage.

update

Whether contents are automatically mirrored to the parent window. If one client
already specifies an update type of Manual, any attempt by another to specify a
mode of Manual so will result in an Access error.

Overview

The hierarchy starting at 'window' is directed to off-screen
storage. When all clients enabling redirection terminate,
the redirection will automatically be disabled.

The root window may not be redirected. Doing so results in a Match
error.

Return value

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_composite_redirect_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

Errors

This request does never generate any errors.
