xcb_composite_redirect_window

Redirect the heirarchy starting at “window” to off-screen storage.

#include <xcb/composite.h>

xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_composite_redirect_window(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_window_t window, uint8_t update);

The XCB connection to X11.
The root of the heirarchy to redirect to off-screen storage.
Whether contents are automatically mirrored to the parent window. If one client already specifies an update type of Manual, any attempt by another to specify a mode of Manual so will result in an Access error.

The hierarchy starting at 'window' is directed to off-screen storage. When all clients enabling redirection terminate, the redirection will automatically be disabled.

The root window may not be redirected. Doing so results in a Match error.

Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_composite_redirect_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

This request does never generate any errors.
