There is xcb/proto and libxcb. proto contains a XML description of the=20
X11 protocol and libxcb uses this XML to generate C code.

You can find he XML specification for GrabPointer here: [0]

[0]:=20
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xcbproto/-/blob/1388374c7149114=
888a6a5cd6e9bf6ad4b42adf8/src/xproto.xml#L2585-2596

When you build libxcb from source, the appropriate C code is then=20
generated. You won't find much helpful in there. This is the generated=20
code for xcb_grab_pointer_reply():

xcb_grab_pointer_reply_t *
xcb_grab_pointer_reply (xcb_connection_t           *c,
                         xcb_grab_pointer_cookie_t   cookie  /**< */,
                         xcb_generic_error_t       **e)
{
     return (xcb_grab_pointer_reply_t *) xcb_wait_for_reply(c,=20
cookie.sequence, e);
}
