+ X Window System Unified Protocol
+
+This package provides the headers and specification documents defining
+the core protocol and (many) extensions for the X Window System. The
+extensions are those common among servers descended from X.Org 6.7. It
+also includes a number of headers that aren't purely protocol related,
+but are depended upon by many other X Window System packages to provide
+common definitions and porting layer.
+
+Though the protocol specifications herein are authoritative, the
+content of the headers is bound by compatibility constraints with older
+versions of the X11 suite. If you are looking for a machine-readable
+protocol description suitable for code generation or use in new
+projects, please refer to the XCB project:
