# xcb\_record\_get\_context(3)

## NAME

xcb\_record\_get\_context -

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<xcb/record.h\>**

### Request function

xcb\_record\_get\_context\_cookie\_t **xcb\_record\_get\_context**(xcb\_connection\_t \**conn*, xcb\_record\_context\_t *context*);

### Reply datastructure

```

typedef struct xcb_record_get_context_reply_t {
    uint8_t                     response_type;
    uint8_t                     enabled;
    uint16_t                    sequence;
    uint32_t                    length;
    xcb_record_element_header_t element_header;
    uint8_t                     pad0[3];
    uint32_t                    num_intercepted_clients;
    uint8_t                     pad1[16];
} xcb_record_get_context_reply_t;
```

### Reply function

xcb\_record\_get\_context\_reply\_t \***xcb\_record\_get\_context\_reply**(xcb\_connection\_t \**conn*, xcb\_record\_get\_context\_cookie\_t *cookie*, xcb\_generic\_error\_t \*\**e*);

### Reply accessors

int **xcb\_record\_get\_context\_intercepted\_clients\_length**(const xcb\_record\_get\_context\_reply\_t \**reply*);

xcb\_record\_client\_info\_iterator\_t **xcb\_record\_get\_context\_intercepted\_clients\_iterator**(const xcb\_record\_get\_context\_reply\_t \**reply*);\

## REQUEST ARGUMENTS

- *conn*

  The XCB connection to X11.

- *context*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

## REPLY FIELDS

- *response\_type*

  The type of this reply, in this case *XCB\_RECORD\_GET\_CONTEXT*. 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).

- *enabled*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *element\_header*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

- *num\_intercepted\_clients*

  TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

## DESCRIPTION

## RETURN VALUE

Returns an *xcb\_record\_get\_context\_cookie\_t*. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function *xcb\_record\_get\_context\_reply*.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use *xcb\_record\_get\_context\_unchecked*. See **[xcb-requests(3)](/xcb-requests/3.md)** for details.

## ERRORS

This request does never generate any errors.
