   Reply function
       xcb_get_geometry_reply_t
              *xcb_get_geometry_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
              xcb_get_geometry_cookie_t cookie, xcb_generic_error_t **e);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS
       conn      The XCB connection to X11.

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

REPLY FIELDS
       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 always 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 always 0.

       width     The width of drawable.

       height    The height of drawable.

       border_width
                 The border width (in pixels).

DESCRIPTION
       Gets the current geometry of the specified drawable (either Window or
       Pixmap).

RETURN VALUE
       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-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS
       xcb_drawable_error_t
                 TODO: reasons?

       xcb_window_error_t
                 TODO: reasons?

EXAMPLE

       /*
        * Displays the x and y position of the given window.
        *
        */
       void my_example(xcb_connection_t *c, xcb_window_t window) {
           xcb_get_geometry_cookie_t cookie;
           xcb_get_geometry_reply_t *reply;

           cookie = xcb_get_geometry(c, window);
           /* ... do other work here if possible ... */
           if ((reply = xcb_get_geometry_reply(c, cookie, NULL))) {
               printf("This window is at %d, %d\n", reply->x, reply->y);
           }
           free(reply);
       }
