Synopsis

Description

XMaxRequestSize() returns the maximum request size (in 4-byte units) supported by the server.  Single protocol requests to the server can be no longer than this size.  The protocol guarantees the size to be no smaller than 4096 units (16384 bytes).  Xlib automatically breaks data up into multiple protocol requests as necessary for the following functions: XDrawPoints(), XDrawRectangles(), XDrawSegments(), XFillArcs(), XFillRectangles(), and XPutImage().  Xlib does not break up data for XDrawArcs(), XDrawLines(), or XFillPolygon().  There is no macro MaxRequestSize().
