If lots of requests are send without one causing a reply, xcb can get confused about the current sequence number of a reply. Document the requirements of an external socket owner to avoid this problem. The return_socket callback for xcb_take_socket() originally was supposed to return the last sequence number used, but the version committed to libxcb never actually had this signature. This fixes the function's documentation not to mention this non-existent return value. Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in> Signed-off-by: Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info>
About libxcb
============
libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
