About XCB util
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of
|
||
|
|
libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension
|
||
|
|
libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions
|
||
|
|
and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the
|
||
|
|
libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of
|
||
|
|
the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
render-util: Convenience functions for the Render extension.
|
||
|
|
aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests.
|
||
|
|
atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching.
|
||
|
|
property: Callback X property-change handling.
|
||
|
|
icccm: Both client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM.
|
||
|
|
keysyms: Standard X key constants and conversion to/from keycodes.
|
||
|
|
event: Callback X event handling.
|
||
|
|
image: Port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage functions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you find any of these libraries useful, please let us know what
|
||
|
|
you're using and why you aren't in a mental hospital yet. We'd welcome
|
||
|
|
