The type of this reply, in this case XCB_GET_INPUT_FOCUS. 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).

- XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_NONE
-
The focus reverts to XCB_NONE, so no window will have the input focus.
- XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_POINTER_ROOT

The focus reverts to XCB_POINTER_ROOT respectively. When the focus reverts, FocusIn and FocusOut events are generated, but the last-focus-change time is not changed.

The focus reverts to the parent (or closest viewable ancestor) and the new revert_to value is XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_NONE.
