    uint32_t authenticated;
} xcb_xf86dri_auth_connection_reply_t;
```

### Reply function

xcb\_xf86dri\_auth\_connection\_reply\_t \***xcb\_xf86dri\_auth\_connection\_reply**(xcb\_connection\_t \**conn*, xcb\_xf86dri\_auth\_connection\_cookie\_t *cookie*, xcb\_generic\_error\_t \*\**e*);\

  The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).

- *authenticated*

## DESCRIPTION

## RETURN VALUE

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use *xcb\_xf86dri\_auth\_connection\_unchecked*. See **[xcb-requests(3)](/xcb-requests/3.md)** for details.

## ERRORS
