DESCRIPTION

213       Gets the current attributes for the specified window.
214

RETURN VALUE

216       Returns an xcb_get_window_attributes_cookie_t. Errors have to be han‐
217       dled when calling the reply function xcb_get_window_attributes_reply.
218
219       If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use
220       xcb_get_window_attributes_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.
221

ERRORS

223       xcb_drawable_error_t
224                 TODO: reasons?
225
226       xcb_window_error_t
227                 The specified window does not exist.
