* @brief Take over the write side of the socket

* to use the socket again.
* @param closure Argument to the callback function.

* @return 1 on success, else 0.
* xcb_take_socket allows external code to ask XCB for permission to
* take over the write side of the socket and send raw data with
* xcb_writev. xcb_take_socket provides the sequence number of the last
* request XCB sent. The caller of xcb_take_socket must supply a
* callback which XCB can call when it wants the write side of the
* socket back to make a request. This callback synchronizes with the
* external socket owner and flushes any output queues if appropriate.
* If you are sending requests which won't cause a reply, please note the
* comment for xcb_writev which explains some sequence number wrap issues.
* All replies that are generated while the socket is owned externally have
* @p flags applied to them. For example, use XCB_REQUEST_CHECK if you don't
* want errors to go to xcb's normal error handling, but instead having to be
* picked up via xcb_wait_for_reply(), xcb_poll_for_reply() or
int xcb_take_socket(xcb_connection_t *c, void (*return_socket)(void *closure), void *closure, int flags, uint64_t *sent);
* @brief Send raw data to the X server.
* @param c The connection to the X server.
* @param vector Array of data to be sent.
* @param count Number of entries in @p vector.
* @param requests Number of requests that are being sent.
* @return 1 on success, else 0.
* You must own the write-side of the socket (you've called
* xcb_take_socket, and haven't returned from return_socket yet) to call
* xcb_writev. Also, the iovec must have at least 1 byte of data in it.
* You have to make sure that xcb can detect sequence number wraps correctly.
* This means that the first request you send after xcb_take_socket must cause a
* reply (e.g. just insert a GetInputFocus request). After every (1 << 16) - 1
* requests without a reply, you have to insert a request which will cause a
* reply. You can again use GetInputFocus for this. You do not have to wait for
* any of the GetInputFocus replies, but can instead handle them via
