response_type

The type of this event, in this case XCB_CLIENT_MESSAGE. This field is also present in the xcb_generic_event_t and can be used to tell events apart from each other.

sequence

The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.

format

Specifies how to interpret data. Can be either 8, 16 or 32.

window

NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

type

An atom which indicates how the data should be interpreted by the receiving client.

data

The data itself (20 bytes max).

This event represents a ClientMessage, sent by another X11 client. An example is a client sending the _NET_WM_STATE ClientMessage to the root window to indicate the fullscreen window state, effectively requesting that the window manager puts it into fullscreen mode.
