XStandards \- X Window System Standards and Specifications
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The major goal of the X Consortium was to promote cooperation within the
|
|
computer industry in the creation of standard software interfaces at
|
|
all layers in the X Window System environment.
|
|
The X Consortium produced standards - documents which
|
|
defined network protocols, programming interfaces, and
|
|
other aspects of the X environment. These standards
|
|
continue to exist in the X.Org Foundation releases.
|
|
The X.Org Foundation also produces specifications.
|
|
Like X Window System Standards, these are documents
|
|
which define network protocols, programming interfaces,
|
|
and other aspects of the X environment. Under the aegis
|
|
of The Open Group, X Window System standards, X.Org Foundation
|
|
specifications, and other specifications are the
|
|
basis for portions of The Open Group's various CAE
|
|
specifications.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The status of various standards, specifications, and
|
|
the software in the X11R7.0 distribution, is explained below.
|

.SH "NON STANDARDS"
|
|
The X11R7.0 distribution contains \fIsample\fP implementations, not
|
|
\fIreference\fP implementations. Although much of the code is believed
|
|
to be correct, the code should be assumed to be in error wherever it
|
|
conflicts with the specification.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The only X Window System standards are the ones listed above.
|
|
No other documents, include files, or software in X11R7.0 carry special
|
|
status within the X Window System. For example, none of the following
|
|
are standards:
|
|
internal interfaces of the sample server;
|
|
the MIT-SHM extension;
|
|
the Athena Widget Set;
|
|
the Xmu library;
|
|
the Xau library;
|
|
the RGB database;
|
|
the X Locale database;
|
|
the fonts distributed with X11R7.0;
|
|
the applications distributed with X11R7.0;
|
|
the include files <X11/XWDFile.h>, <X11/Xfuncproto.h>, <X11/Xfuncs.h>,
|
|
<X11/Xosdefs.h>, <X11/Xos.h>, <X11/Xos_r.h>, <X11/Xwinsock.h>, and
|
|
<X11/Xthreads.h>;
|
|
the bitmap files in <X11/bitmaps>.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The Multi-Buffering extension was a draft standard of the
|
|
X Consortium but has been superseded by DBE as a standard.
|
|
|
|
.SH "X REGISTRY"
|
|
The X.Org Foundation maintains a registry of certain X-related items, to
|
|
aid in avoiding conflicts and to aid in sharing of such items.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The registry is published as part of the X Window System software
|
|
release.
|
|
The latest version may also be found at
|
|
.nf
|
|
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/registry
|
|
.fi
|
|
The X Registry and the names in it are not X Window System standards.
