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

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