<X11/extensions/dpms.h> <X11/extensions/dpmsstr.h>"NON STANDARDS"The X11R7.0 distribution contains sample implementations, not reference implementations. Although much of the code is believed to be correct, the code should be assumed to be in error wherever it conflicts with the specification.The only X Window System standards are the ones listed above. No other documents, include files, or software in X11R7.0 carry special status within the X Window System. For example, none of the following are standards: internal interfaces of the sample server; the MIT-SHM extension; the Athena Widget Set; the Xmu library; the Xau library; the RGB database; the X Locale database; the fonts distributed with X11R7.0; the applications distributed with X11R7.0; the include files <X11/XWDFile.h>, <X11/Xfuncproto.h>, <X11/Xfuncs.h>, <X11/Xosdefs.h>, <X11/Xos.h>, <X11/Xos_r.h>, <X11/Xwinsock.h>, and <X11/Xthreads.h>; the bitmap files in <X11/bitmaps>.
The Multi-Buffering extension was a draft standard of the X Consortium but has been superseded by DBE as a standard.
"X REGISTRY"The X.Org Foundation maintains a registry of certain X-related items, to aid in avoiding conflicts and to aid in sharing of such items.The registry is published as part of the X Window System software release. The latest version may also be found at
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/registryThe X Registry and the names in it are not X Window System standards.
