In Xlib the structure XRRModeInfo
contains, aside from nameLength
field, the name
itself. But in XCB the corresponding structure xcb_randr_mode_info_t
only contains name_len
, and there seems to be no function to get actual name string.
I do see all the mode names in the string returned by xcb_randr_get_screen_resources_names()
, but they are all concatenated, and I don't know how to find the offset of a particular mode in this string.
So, how can I get the mode name using XCB?

You have the length of the individual names and you know the length of each name, so you just have to count bytes:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <xcb/randr.h>
int main()
{
xcb_connection_t *c = xcb_connect(NULL, NULL);
xcb_screen_t *screen = xcb_setup_roots_iterator(xcb_get_setup(c)).data;
// TODO: Error handling
// TODO: Checking if the RandR extension is available
xcb_randr_get_screen_resources_reply_t *reply =
xcb_randr_get_screen_resources_reply(c,
xcb_randr_get_screen_resources(c, screen->root),
NULL);
xcb_randr_mode_info_iterator_t iter = xcb_randr_get_screen_resources_modes_iterator(reply);
uint8_t *names = xcb_randr_get_screen_resources_names(reply);
while (iter.rem) {
xcb_randr_mode_info_t *mode = iter.data;
printf("Mode %d has size %dx%d and name %.*s\n",
mode->id, mode->width, mode->height, mode->name_len, names);
names += mode->name_len;
xcb_randr_mode_info_next(&iter);
}
free(reply);
xcb_disconnect(c);
return 0;
}
