Gets the current attributes for the specified window.

Returns an xcb_get_window_attributes_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when calling the reply function xcb_get_window_attributes_reply.

If you want to handle errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_get_window_attributes_unchecked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

TODO: reasons?
The specified window does not exist.
