# [REPLY FIELDS](#REPLY_FIELDS)

[*response\_type*](#response_type)

The type of this reply, in this case *XCB\_INPUT\_XI\_GRAB\_DEVICE*. This field is also present in the *xcb\_generic\_reply\_t* and can be used to tell replies apart from each other.

[*sequence*](#sequence)

The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.

[*length*](#length)

The length of the reply, in words (a word is 4 bytes).

[*status*](#status)

TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

# [RETURN VALUE](#RETURN_VALUE)

Returns an *xcb\_input\_xi\_grab\_device\_cookie\_t*. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function *xcb\_input\_xi\_grab\_device\_reply*.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use *xcb\_input\_xi\_grab\_device\_unchecked*. See [**xcb-requests(3)**](/man/os/libxcb/xcb-requests.3) for details.

# [ERRORS](#ERRORS)

This request does never generate any errors.
