1 About XCB util 2 ============== 3 4 The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of 5 libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension 6 libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions 7 and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the 8 libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of 9 the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib. 10 11 These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity: 12 13 render-util: Convenience functions for the Render extension. 14 aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests. 15 atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching. 16 property: Callback X property-change handling. 17 icccm: Both client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM. 18 keysyms: Standard X key constants and conversion to/from keycodes. 19 event: Callback X event handling. 20 image: Port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage functions. 21 22 If you find any of these libraries useful, please let us know what 23 you're using and why you aren't in a mental hospital yet. We'd welcome 24 patches/suggestions for enhancement and new libraries; Please report any 25 issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker, at: 26 27 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB> 28 29 Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list: 30 31 <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org> 32 <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb> 33 34 You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT. 35 For anonymous checkouts, use: 36 37 git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/util 38 39 For developers, use: 40 41 git clone git+ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xcb/util 42
