xcb_dbe_allocate_back_buffer3

Allocates a back buffer

Request arguments

conn

The XCB connection to X11.

window

The window to which to add the back buffer.

buffer

The buffer id to associate with the back buffer.

swap_action

The swap action most likely to be used to present this back buffer. This is only a hint, and does not preclude the use of other swap actions.

Overview

Associates buffer with the back buffer of window. Multiple ids may be associated with the back buffer, which is created by the first allocate call and destroyed by the last deallocate.

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_dbe_allocate_back_buffer_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

Errors

This request does never generate any errors.
