      1  1.1  mrg About XCB util
      2  1.1  mrg ==============
      3  1.1  mrg 
      4  1.1  mrg The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of
      5  1.1  mrg libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension
      6  1.1  mrg libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions
      7  1.1  mrg and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the
      8  1.1  mrg libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of
      9  1.1  mrg the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib.
     10  1.1  mrg 
     11  1.1  mrg These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity:
     12  1.1  mrg 
     13  1.1  mrg render-util: Convenience functions for the Render extension.
     14  1.1  mrg aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests.
     15  1.1  mrg atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching.
     16  1.1  mrg property: Callback X property-change handling.
     17  1.1  mrg icccm: Both client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM.
     18  1.1  mrg keysyms: Standard X key constants and conversion to/from keycodes.
     19  1.1  mrg event: Callback X event handling.
     20  1.1  mrg image: Port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage functions.
     21  1.1  mrg

     23  1.1  mrg you're using and why you aren't in a mental hospital yet. We'd welcome
     24  1.1  mrg patches/suggestions for enhancement and new libraries; Please report any
