12       xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_reparent_window(xcb_connection_t *conn,
13              xcb_window_t window, xcb_window_t parent, int16_t x, int16_t y);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

16       conn      The XCB connection to X11.
17
18       window    The window to reparent.

DESCRIPTION

27       Makes the specified window a child of the specified parent window. If
28       the window is mapped, it will automatically be unmapped before repar‐
29       enting and re-mapped after reparenting. The window is placed in the
30       stacking order on top with respect to sibling windows.
31
32       After reparenting, a ReparentNotify event is generated.
33

RETURN VALUE

35       Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the
36       event loop.
37
38       If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead,
39       use xcb_reparent_window_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
