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 +patches/suggestions for enhancement and new libraries; Please report any +issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker, at: + + <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB> + +Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list: + + <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org> + <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb> + +You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT. +For anonymous checkouts, use: + + git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/util + +For developers, use: + + git clone git+ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/util |
