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

       depth     The depth of the drawable (bits per pixel for the object).

       root      Root window of the screen containing drawable.

       x         The X coordinate of drawable. If drawable is a window, the coordinate specifies the  upper-left
                 outer  corner relative to its parent's origin. If drawable is a pixmap, the X coordinate is al‐
                 ways 0.

       y         The Y coordinate of drawable. If drawable is a window, the coordinate specifies the  upper-left
                 outer  corner relative to its parent's origin. If drawable is a pixmap, the Y coordinate is al‐
                 ways 0.

       width     The width of drawable.

       height    The height of drawable.

       border_width
                 The border width (in pixels).

conn      The XCB connection to X11.

       drawable  The drawable (Window or Pixmap) of which the geometry will be received.

       Returns an xcb_get_geometry_cookie_t.  Errors  have  to  be  handled  when  calling  the  reply  function
       xcb_get_geometry_reply.

       If  you  want  to  handle  errors  in the event loop instead, use xcb_get_geometry_unchecked. See xcb-re‐quests(3) for details.
