NAME

       xcb_alloc_color - Allocate a color

SYNOPSIS

       #include <xcb/xproto.h>

   Request function
       xcb_alloc_color_cookie_t xcb_alloc_color(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_colormap_t cmap,
              uint16_t red, uint16_t green, uint16_t blue);

   Reply datastructure
       typedef struct xcb_alloc_color_reply_t {
           uint8_t  response_type;
           uint8_t  pad0;
           uint16_t sequence;
           uint32_t length;
           uint16_t red;
           uint16_t green;
           uint16_t blue;
           uint8_t  pad1[2];
           uint32_t pixel;
       } xcb_alloc_color_reply_t;

   Reply function
       xcb_alloc_color_reply_t *xcb_alloc_color_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
              xcb_alloc_color_cookie_t cookie, xcb_generic_error_t **e);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

       conn      The XCB connection to X11.

       cmap      TODO

       red       The red value of your color.

       green     The green value of your color.

       blue      The blue value of your color.

REPLY FIELDS

       response_type
                 The type of this reply, in this case XCB_ALLOC_COLOR. 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).

       red       TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

       green     TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

       blue      TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

       pixel     TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

DESCRIPTION

       Allocates a read-only colormap entry corresponding to the closest RGB value supported by
       the hardware. If you are using TrueColor, you can take a shortcut and directly calculate
       the color pixel value to avoid the round trip. But, for example, on 16-bit color setups
       (VNC), you can easily get the closest supported RGB value to the RGB value you are
       specifying.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns an xcb_alloc_color_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply
       function xcb_alloc_color_reply.

       If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_alloc_color_unchecked. See
       xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

       xcb_colormap_error_t
                 The specified colormap cmap does not exist.
