<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
Low Bandwidth X (LBX) is a network-transparent protocol for running X Window
System applications over transport channels whose bandwidth and latency are
significantly worse than that used in local area networks. It combines a
variety of caching and reencoding techniques to reduce the volume of data that
must be sent over the wire. It can be used with existing clients by placing a
proxy between the clients and server, so that the low bandwidth/high latency
communication occurs between the proxy and server.
</para>


<para>
This extension was designed and implemented by Jim Fulton, David Lemke, Keith
Packard, and Dale Tonogai, all of Network Computing Devices (NCD). Chris Kent
Kantarjiev (Xerox PARC) participated in early design discussions. Ralph Mor (X
Consortium) designed and implemented additional sections. Donna Converse (X
Consortium) authored the protocol description and encoding from design notes
and the implementation. Ray Tice (X Consortium) resolved the open issues in the
design and specification. Bob Scheifler (X Consortium) helped out in many areas.
</para>

The extension name is &quot;LBX&quot;.

<sect1 id='description'>
<title>Description</title>

<para>
The design center for LBX is to use a proxy as an intermediary between the
client and server. The proxy reencodes and compresses requests, events, replies
and errors, as well as the resulting data stream. Additionally, the proxy can
cache information from the server to provide low-latency replies to clients.
This reply generation by the proxy is known as short-circuiting. A proxy can
handle multiple clients for a given server, but does not prevent clients from
connecting directly to the server. The design allows the proxy to multiplex
multiple clients into a single data stream to the server.
</para>


<para>
Much of LBX is implemented as an extension. The compression and reencoding
changes can be isolated to the transport and dispatch portions of the server,
while short-circuiting requires minor changes to the server’s colormap and
property code.
</para>


<para>
LBX employs several different compression and short-circuiting methods. Use of
these methods is negotiable, and in some cases, the algorithm used by a given
method is negotiable as well. LBX also provides for negotiation of extensions
to LBX.

</sect2>
<sect2 id='tags'>
<title>Tags</title>

<para>
Tags are used to support caching of large data items that are expected to be
queried multiple times. Such things as the keyboard map and font metrics are
often requested by multiple clients. Rather than send the data each time, the
first time the data is sent it includes a tag. The proxy saves this data, so
that subsequent requests can send only the tag to refer to that same data. The
different types of tags are used for connection information, keyboard maps,
modifier maps, fonts information and properties.
</para>


<para>
Tag usage is negotiated as a boolean in the <emphasis>
LbxStartProxy</emphasis>
 message. The proxy controls how many tags are stored in the proxy. The server
may wish to observe the proxy’s InvalidateTag behavior to limit how many tags
are cached at any one time. Tagged data is not shared across types of tags, but
the number space used for the tag ids is. The tag ids are generated by the
server.
</para>


<para>
The X server keeps track of what tags are known to the proxy. The proxy can
invalidate a tag if no tag bearing replies of that type are pending. The proxy
sends an <emphasis>
LbxInvalidateTag</emphasis>
 message to release the tagged data. The proxy must not invalidate connection
tags unless instructed to do so by the server.
</para>


<para>
If the server wishes to discard tagged data, it must either have received an
<emphasis>
LbxInvalidateTag</emphasis>
 request from the proxy or send an <emphasis>
LbxInvalidateTag</emphasis>
 event to the proxy for that tag.
</para>


<sect3 id='tag_substitution_in_requests'>
<title>Tag Substitution in Requests</title>

<para>
Many substitution requests have a tag field, followed by fields marked
optional. For these requests, if the optional fields are present, the
data in them is stored in the indicated tag, unless the tag is 0. If
the optional fields are absent, the tag field indicates the tag that
contains the data for the &quot;optional&quot; fields.
</para>


</sect3>
<sect3 id='property_tags'>
<title>Property Tags</title>

<para>
Property data makes special use of tags. A common use of properties is for
inter-client communication. If both clients use the proxy, it is wasteful to
send the data to the server and then back, when the server may never need it.
<emphasis>
LbxChangeProperty</emphasis>
 request does the same work as the core <emphasis>
ChangeProperty</emphasis>
 request, but it does not send the data. The reply to this request contains a
tag id corresponding to the data. If the property information is used locally,
the server responds to <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 with the tag, and the property data need never be sent to the server. If the
server does require the data, it can issue an <emphasis>
LbxQueryTag</emphasis>
 message. The proxy can also send the data on at any time if it judges it
appropriate (i.e., when the wire goes idle). Since the proxy owns the property
data, it must not invalidate the tag before sending the data back to the server
via an <emphasis>
LbxTagData</emphasis>
 request.
</para>


</sect3>
</sect2>
<sect2 id='short_circuiting'>
<title>Short-circuiting</title>

<para>
Short-circuiting is used to handle constant data. This includes atoms, color
name/RGB mappings, and <emphasis>
AllocColor</emphasis>
 calls. Atoms and color name/RGB mappings stay constant for the life of the
server. <emphasis>
AllocColor</emphasis>
<emphasis>
 </emphasis>
replies are constant for each colormap. Short-circuiting replaces round-trip
requests with one-way requests, and can sometimes use one in place of many.
</para>


<para>
Atoms are used heavily for ICCCM communication. Once the proxy knows the string
to atom mapping, it has no need to send subsequent requests for this atom to
the server.
</para>


<para>
Colorname/RGB mappings are constant, so once the proxy sees the response from
<emphasis>
LookupColor</emphasis>
, it need not forward any subsequent requests.
</para>


<para>
Clients often use the same color cells, so once a read-only color allocation
has occurred, the proxy knows what RGB values should be returned to the client.
The proxy doesn't need to forward any <emphasis>
AllocColor</emphasis>
 requests it can resolve, but it must tell the server to modify the color
cell's reference count. <emphasis>
LbxIncrementPixel</emphasis>
 is used to support this.
</para>


<para>
For all three classes of short-circuiting, the proxy must still tell the server
a request has occurred, so that the request sequence numbers stay in sync. This
is done with <emphasis>
LbxModifySequence</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
Sequence numbers cause the major complication with short-circuiting. X
guarantees that any replies, events or errors generated by a previous request
will be sent before those of a later request. This means that any requests that
can be handled by the proxy must have their reply sent after any previous
events or errors.
</para>


<para>
If a proxy’s applications do not require strict adherence to the X protocol
ordering of errors or events, a proxy might provide further optimization by
avoiding the overhead of maintaining this ordering, however, the resulting
protocol is not strictly X11 compliant.
</para>


</sect2>
<sect2 id='graphics_re_encoding'>
<title>Graphics Re-encoding</title>

<para>
The LBX proxy attempts to reencode <emphasis>PolyPoint</emphasis>,
<emphasis>PolyLine</emphasis>, <emphasis>PolySegment</emphasis>,
<emphasis>PolyRectangle</emphasis>, <emphasis>PolyArc</emphasis>,
<emphasis>FillPoly</emphasis>, <emphasis>PolyFillRectangle</emphasis>,
<emphasis>PolyFillArc</emphasis>, <emphasis>CopyArea</emphasis>,
<emphasis>CopyPlane</emphasis>, <emphasis>PolyText8</emphasis>,
<emphasis>PolyText16</emphasis>, <emphasis>ImageText8</emphasis>,
and <emphasis>ImageText16</emphasis> requests. If the request can be
reencoded, it may be replaced by an equivalent LBX form of the request.
The requests are reencoded by attempting to reduce 2-byte coordinate,
length, width and angle fields to 1 byte. Where applicable, the
coordinate mode is also converted to <emphasis>Previous</emphasis>
 to improve the compressibility of the resulting data. In image requests,
the image data may also be compressed.
</para>

</sect2>
<sect2 id='motion_events'>
<title>Motion events</title>

<para>
To prevent clogging the wire with <emphasis>MotionNotify</emphasis>
 events, the server and proxy work together to control the number
of events on the wire. This is done with the
<emphasis>LbxAllowMotion</emphasis>
 request. The request adds an amount to an allowed motion count in
the server, which is kept on a per-proxy basis. Every motion notify
event sent to the proxy decrements the allowed motion counter. If
the allowed motion count is less than or equal to zero, motion
events not required by the X protocol definition are not sent to the
proxy. The allowed motion counter has a minimum value of -2^31.
</para>

</sect2>
<sect2 id='event_squishing'>
<title>Event Squishing</title>

<para>
In the core protocol, all events are padded as needed to be 32 bytes long. The
LBX extension reduces traffic by removing padding at the end of events, and
implying the event length from its type. This is known as squishing.
</para>

</sect2>
<sect2 id='master_client_'>
<title>Master Client </title>

<para>
When the initial X connection between the proxy and the server is converted to
LBX mode, the proxy itself becomes the master client. New client requests and
some tag messages are sent in the context of the master client.
</para>


</sect2>
<sect2 id='multiplexing_of_clients'>
<title>Multiplexing of Clients</title>

<para>
The LBX proxy multiplexes the data streams of all its clients into one stream,
and then splits them apart again when they are received. The <emphasis>
LbxSwitch</emphasis>
 message is used to tell each end which client is using the wire at the time.
</para>


<para>
The server should process delta requests in the order that they appear on the
LBX connection. If the server does not maintain the interclient request order
for requests sent by the proxy, it must still obey the semantics implied by the
interclient request order so that the delta cache functions correctly.
</para>


<para>
The server can affect the multiplexing of clients by the proxy using the
<emphasis>
LbxListenToOne</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
LbxListenToAll</emphasis>
 messages. This is useful during grabs, since the master connection can not be
blocked during grabs like other clients. The proxy is responsible for tracking
server grabs issued by its clients so that the proxy can multiplex the client
streams in an order executable by the server.
</para>


<para>
Replies must be ordered in the multiplexed data stream from the server to the
proxy such that the reply carrying tagged data precedes replies that refer to
that tagged data.
</para>


</sect2>
<sect2 id='swapping'>
<title>Swapping</title>

<para>
Swapping is handled as with any X extension, with one caveat. Since a proxy can
be supporting clients with different byte orders, and they all share the same
wire, the length fields of all messages between the server and proxy are
expressed in the proxy byte order. This prevents any problems with length
computation that may occur when clients are switched.
</para>


</sect2>
<sect2 id='delta_cache'>
<title>Delta cache</title>

<para>
LBX takes advantage of the fact that an X message may be very similar to one
that has been previously sent. For example, a <emphasis>
KeyPress</emphasis>
 event may differ from a previous <emphasis>
KeyPress</emphasis>
 event in just a few bytes. By sending just the bytes that differ (or
"deltas"), the number of bytes sent over the wire can be substantially reduced.
Delta compaction is used on requests being sent by the proxy as well as on
replies and events being sent by the server.
</para>


<para>
The server and the proxy each keep per-proxy request and response caches. The
response cache contains events, errors and replies. All messages are saved in
the appropriate delta cache if they are of an appropriate type and more than 8
bytes long but fit within the delta cache. The number of entries in the delta
cache and the maximum saved message size are negotiated in the <emphasis>
LbxStartProxy</emphasis>
 request.
</para>


<para>
The LBX requests that are never stored in the request delta cache are the
<emphasis>
LbxQueryVersion</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxStartProxy</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxSwitch</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxAllowMotion</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxDelta</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxQueryExtension</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxPutImage</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxGetImage</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxBeginLargeRequest</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxLargeRequestData</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxEndLargeRequest</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
LbxInternAtoms</emphasis>
 requests. The responses that are never stored in the response cache are
<emphasis>
LbxSwitchEvent</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
LbxDeltaResponse</emphasis>
. The message carried by a <emphasis>
delta </emphasis>
message is also cached, if it meets the other requirements. Messages after the
<emphasis>
LbxStartProxy</emphasis>
 request are cached starting at index 0, and incrementing the index, modulo the
number of entries, thereafter. The request and response caches are
independently indexed.
</para>


<para>
If the current message is cachable and the same length as a message in the
corresponding delta cache, a delta message may be substituted in place of the
original message in the protocol stream.
</para>


</sect2>
<sect2 id='stream_compression'>
<title>Stream Compression</title>

<para>
Before being passed down to the transport layer messages can be passed through
a general purpose data compressor. The choice of compression algorithm is
negotiated with <ulink url="lbx.htm#20870">See LbxStartProxy</ulink>. The proxy
and server are not required to support any specific stream compressor. As an
example, however, the X Consortium implementation of a ZLIB based compressor is
described below.
</para>

<note><para>
The XC-ZLIB compressor is presented with a simple byte stream - the X and LBX
message boundaries are not apparent. The data is broken up into fixed sized
blocks. Each block is compressed using zlib 1.0 (by Gailly &amp; Adler), then a
two byte header is prepended, and then the entire packet is transmitted. The
header has the following information:
</para></note>
<para><programlisting>
      out[0] = (length &amp; 0xfff) &gt;&gt; 8 | ((compflag) ? 0x80 : 0);
      out[1] = length &amp; 0xff;
</programlisting></para>

</sect2>
<sect2 id='authentication_protocols'>
<title>Authentication Protocols</title>

<para>
The current version of LBX does not support multipass authentication protocols
for clients of the proxy. These authentication protocols return an <emphasis>
Authenticate</emphasis>
 message in response to a connection setup request, and require additional
authentication data from the client after the <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
 request, and before the reply to <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
. One example of such a protocol is XC-QUERY-SECURITY-1.
</para>

<para>
This request is identical to the <emphasis>
QueryExtension</emphasis>
 request, with an additional field, and two optional additional fields. When
the client issues an <emphasis>
QueryExtension</emphasis>
 request, the proxy will substitute an <emphasis>
LbxQueryExtension</emphasis>
 request.
</para>


<para>
This request determines if the named extension is present. If so, the major
opcode for the extension is returned, if it has one. Otherwise, zero is
returned. Any minor opcode and the request formats are specific to the
extension. If the extension involves additional event types, the base event
type code is returned. Otherwise, zero is returned. The format of events is
specific to the extension. If the extension involves additional error codes,
the base error code is returned. Otherwise, zero is returned. The format of
additional data in the errors is specific to the extension.
</para>


<para>
In addition, the number of requests defined by the named extension is returned.
If the number of requests is nonzero, and if the information is available,
reply-mask and event-mask will be included in the reply. The reply-mask
represents a bit-wise one-to-one correspondence with the extension requests.
The least significant bit corresponds to the first request, and the next bit
corresponds to the next request, and so on. Each element in the list contains
eight meaningful bits, except for the last element, which contains eight or
fewer meaningful bits. Unused bits are not guaranteed to be zero. The bit
corresponding to a request is set if the request could generate a reply,
otherwise it is zero. In the same way, the event-mask represents a bit-wise
one-to-one correspondence with the extension requests. A bit is set if the
corresponding request could result in the generation of one or more extension
or X11 events. If reply-mask is present in the reply, event-mask will also be
present.

<para>
This request negotiates LBX protocol options, and switches the proxy-server
connection from X11 protocol to LBX protocol.
</para>


<para>
The proxy gives the preferred protocol options in the request. The server
chooses from the given options and informs the proxy which to use. The options
may be listed in any order, and the proxy may choose which options to
negotiate. If an option is not successfully negotiated, the default is used.
</para>


<para>
The server delta cache and proxy delta caches can be configured for number of
entries, and the length of entries. (See <ulink url="lbx.htm#22595">See Delta
cache</ulink> for details.) The delta caches are configured using the <emphasis>
delta-server</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
delta-proxy</emphasis>
 options. To configure a cache, the proxy sends the minimum, maximum and
preferred values for the number of cache entries, (<emphasis>
minN, maxN, prefN</emphasis>
), and the length of the cache entries, (<emphasis>
minMaxMsgLen, maxMaxMsgLen, prefMaxMsgLen</emphasis>
). The server’s reply fields, <emphasis>
entries</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
maxlen</emphasis>
, contains the values to use. These values must be within the ranges specified
by the proxy. The server may also specify an <emphasis>
entries</emphasis>
 value of 0 to disable delta caching. The cache entry lengths are specified in
units of 4 bytes.
</para>


<para>
The stream compression algorithm is selected using the <emphasis>
stream-comp </emphasis>
option. (Stream compression is described in <ulink url="lbx.htm#11596">See
Stream Compression</ulink>.) Each algorithm has a name that follows the naming
conventions in <ulink url="lbx.htm#13570">See Algorithm Naming</ulink>. To
negotiate using the stream-comp option, the proxy lists its available
compressors. For each candidate algorithm, the proxy sends the name in the
<emphasis>
name</emphasis>
 field, and uses the <emphasis>
detail</emphasis>
 field to send any additional data specific to each compression algorithm. The
reply contains a 0-based index into the list of algorithms to indicate which
algorithm to use, followed by data specific to that algorithm.
</para>


<para>
Bitmap compression is negotiated using the <emphasis>
bitmap-comp</emphasis>
 option. The proxy sends a list of names of available algorithms, and the
server reply lists the algorithms to use. For each bitmap algorithm in the
reply, a 0-based index into the list of algorithms indicates the algorithm, and
the <emphasis>
opcode</emphasis>
 field gives the value for use in requests. The algorithm names follow the
conventions in <ulink url="lbx.htm#13570">See Algorithm Naming</ulink>.
</para>


<para>
Pixmap compression is negotiated using the <emphasis>
pixmap-comp</emphasis>
 option. The proxy sends a list of available algorithms. For each algorithm,
the list includes, the name, a bitmask of supported formats, and a list of
depths that the format supports. The server reply lists the algorithms to use.
For each pixmap algorithm in the reply, the reply contains a 0-based index into
the list of proxy algorithms, the opcode to use in requests when referring to
this algorithm, a mask of valid formats, and a list of valid depths. Algorithm
names follow the conventions in <ulink url="lbx.htm#13570">See Algorithm
Naming</ulink>.
</para>


<para>
Squishing is negotiated using the use-squish option. If the proxy desires
squishing, it sends a true value. The reply from the server indicates whether
to do squishing, and will indicate squishing only if <emphasis>
use-squish</emphasis>
 is set to true in the request.
</para>


<para>
Tag caching, described in <ulink url="lbx.htm#11018">See Tags</ulink>, is
negotiated using the use-tag option. If the proxy desires tag caching, it sends
a true value. The reply from the server indicates whether to do tag caching,
and will demand caching only if <emphasis>
use-tag</emphasis>
 is set to true in the request.
</para>


<para>
The colormap option is used to negotiate what color matching algorithm will be
used by the proxy when the proxy uses the <emphasis>
LbxAllocColor</emphasis>
 request to allocate pixels in a grabbed colormap. To negotiate using the
colormap option, the proxy lists the names of available colormap algorithms.
The choice in the reply contains a 0-based index into the list of algorithms to
indicate which algorithm to use, followed by data specific to that algorithm.
If no colormap algorithm is successfully negotiated, then the <emphasis>
LbxAllocColor</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
LbxGrabCmap</emphasis>
, and <emphasis>
LbxReleaseCmap</emphasis>
 requests will not be used.
</para>


<para>
The extension option is used to control extensions to LBX. These extensions
may, for example, enable other types of compression. To negotiate an extension,
the name of the extension is sent, followed by any data specific to that
extension. The extension name follows the conventions in <ulink
url="lbx.htm#13570">See Algorithm Naming</ulink>. The extension option may
occur multiple times in the start proxy message, since multiple extensions can
be negotiated. The reply to an extension option contains the zero-based index
of the extension option, as counted in the <emphasis>
LbxStartProxy</emphasis>
 message. This index is followed by extension-specific information. The server
does not respond to extensions it does not recognize.
</para>


<para>

 error is returned when a client which is already communicating through an LBX
proxy to the X server sends a <emphasis>

<para>
Errors: LbxClient, Alloc
</para>


<para>
This request, which is sent by the proxy over the control connection, creates a
new virtual connection to the server.
</para>


<para>
Much of the information in the <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
 request and reply is identical to the connection setup and reply information
in the core X protocol.
</para>


<para>
For the <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
 request, the field unique to LBX is client-id. For the <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
 reply, <emphasis>
tag-id</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
change-type</emphasis>
 are fields unique to LBX, and the contents of connection-data may be different
in LBX from the core X protocol (see below).
</para>


<para>
The proxy assigns each virtual connection a unique identifier using the
<emphasis>
client-id</emphasis>
 field in the <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
 request. This client-id is used in the LBX protocol to specify the current
client (see the <emphasis>
LbxSwitch</emphasis>
 request and the <emphasis>
LbxSwitchEvent</emphasis>
). client-id 0 is reserved for the proxy control connection. An <emphasis>
LbxClient</emphasis>
 error will result if the <emphasis>
LbxNewClient</emphasis>
 request contains a client-id of 0 or an already in use client-id.
</para>


<para>
If the server rejects this new virtual connection, the server sends a core X
connection failure reply to the proxy. The current version of LBX does not
support the return of an <emphasis>
Authenticate</emphasis>
 reply.
</para>


<para>
If the <emphasis>
change-type</emphasis>
 field is set to <emphasis>
NoDeltas</emphasis>
, then <emphasis>
connection-data</emphasis>
 is sent using the CONINFO structure, which is identical to the additional data
of the core connection reply. If the <emphasis>
tag-id</emphasis>
 is non-zero, then the connection-data is stored by the proxy using this tag
value. Tagged connection data must be stored by the proxy, and can not be
invalidated by the proxy until an <emphasis>
LbxInvalidateTag</emphasis>
 event is received for that tag.
</para>


<para>
When the <emphasis>
change-type</emphasis>
 field is not set to <emphasis>
NoDeltas</emphasis>
, then connection data is sent as changes against connection information
previously sent to the proxy. The <emphasis>
tag-id</emphasis>
 field, if non-zero, has the tag of the previously sent data to apply the
changes to. A zero tag-id indicates that the changes are with respect to the
connection information sent when the proxy connected to the server.
</para>


<para>
If the <emphasis>
change-type</emphasis>
 field is set to <emphasis>
NormalClientDeltas</emphasis>
, then <emphasis>
connection-data</emphasis>
 is sent using the CONDIF structure. The values in the CONDIF structure are
substituted for the identically named fields of the connection information for
the new connection.
</para>


<para>
If the <emphasis>
change-type</emphasis>
 field is set to <emphasis>
AppGroupDeltas</emphasis>
, then <emphasis>
connection-data</emphasis>
 is sent using the CONDIFROOT structure. The <emphasis>
root</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
root-visual</emphasis>
, and <emphasis>
default-colormap</emphasis>
 fields, when nonzero, are substituted for the corresponding fields in the
reference connection information. The <emphasis>
white-pixel</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
black-pixel</emphasis>
 fields are substituted only when the <emphasis>
default-colormap</emphasis>
 field of the reply is non-zero. When <emphasis>
default-colormap</emphasis>
 field of the reply is zero, so are <emphasis>
white-pixel</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
black-pixel</emphasis>
. The first entry in the <emphasis>
root-input-masks</emphasis>
 field is the current-input-mask for the default root window. The remaining
entries in <emphasis>
root-input-masks</emphasis>
 are input masks for non-video screens, as defined by the X Print Extension.
The number of non-video screens is one less than the number of entries in
<emphasis>
root-input-masks</emphasis>
. These screens are at the end of screen list in the reference connection
information.

<para>
This request asks the server for control of allocating new colormap cells in
the specified colormap. The server grants control by replying to this request.
If no changes have occurred since the last time this proxy grabbed this
colormap, then the <emphasis>
smart-grab</emphasis>
 field of the reply is set to true, and the optional fields are not sent.
Otherwise, the current contents of the colormap are placed in the reply, as
described later in this section.
</para>


<para>
Once the proxy has received the reply, it can use the <emphasis>
LbxAllocColor</emphasis>
 request to allocate new colormap cells without the performance penalty of
round trips. The proxy is still permitted to use the normal colormap and
<emphasis>
LbxIncrementPixel</emphasis>
 requests while the colormap is grabbed. The grab is valid across all virtual
connections of the proxy.
</para>


<para>
The <emphasis>
LbxGrabCmap</emphasis>
 request is limited to colormaps for the visual types negotiated as part of the
colormap algorithm negotiation in the start proxy request at connection setup.
</para>


<para>
The server and other proxies may not allocate new colormap cells in the
colormap while the colormap is grabbed by this proxy. If the server or another
proxy needs to allocate new colormap cells, the server sends a Lbx<emphasis>
ReleaseCmap</emphasis>
 event to the proxy holding the grab, which then issues an <emphasis>
LbxReleaseCmap</emphasis>
 request.
</para>


<para>
The server and other proxies may free colormap cells in a colormap grabbed by a
proxy. The server will send an <emphasis>
LbxFreeCells</emphasis>
 event to the proxy that currently has the colormap grabbed when the cell
reference count reaches 0.
</para>


<para>
If the colormap is a of a static visual type, such as <emphasis>
StaticGray</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
StaticColor</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
GrayScale</emphasis>
, or <emphasis>
TrueColor</emphasis>
, then the proxy’s grab is immediately released by the server, and the proxy
must use <emphasis>
LbxIncrementPixel</emphasis>
 requests in place of <emphasis>
LbxAllocColor</emphasis>
 requests for this colormap.
</para>


<para>
If the cmap field does not refer to a valid colormap or the colormap is already
grabbed by this proxy then a <emphasis>
Colormap</emphasis>
 error is generated.
</para>


<para>
The reply describes the contents of the colormap via several arguments and a
descriptive list containing one or three channels, with each channel describing
allocations in the colormap.
</para>


<para>
The <emphasis>
large-pixel</emphasis>
 argument, if True, specifies that PIXEL indices will be listed as CARD16
quantities instead of CARD8. The<emphasis>
 auto-release</emphasis>
 field, if True, indicates that this colormap is of a static visual type and
the proxy’s grab is immediately released by the server.
</para>


<para>
If <emphasis>
three-channels</emphasis>
 is False, a single channel is enclosed and color values are described using
COLORTRIPLE, which has fields for red, green and blue. A single channel is used
when the visual type is not <emphasis>
DirectColor</emphasis>
 or <emphasis>
TrueColor</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
If <emphasis>
three-channels</emphasis>
 is True, separate red, green and blue channel lists are enclosed, for
describing a <emphasis>
DirectColor</emphasis>
 or <emphasis>
TrueColor</emphasis>
 colormap. Color values for entries in each channel are sent using COLORSINGLE
and the corresponding PIXEL value refers to the RGB subfield of the current
channel, as defined by the corresponding red-mask, green-mask and blue-mask of
the visual.
</para>


<para>
The <emphasis>
bits-per-rgb</emphasis>
 value is one less than the bits-per-rgb-value field of the visual that the
colormap belongs to. If the value is 7 or less, then COLORSINGLE values in the
descriptive list are sent using CARD8 fields. Otherwise these values are sent
using CARD16 fields.
</para>


<para>
The list describing current colormap allocations contains entries of the
following types:
</para>


<para>
An LBXPIXELPRIVATE entry indicates that the pixel in the <emphasis>
pixel </emphasis>
field is unavailable for allocation.
</para>


<para>
An LBXPIXELPRIVATERANGE entry indicates that a contiguous range of pixels are
unavailable for allocation. The range is <emphasis>
first-pixel</emphasis>
 to <emphasis>
last-pixel</emphasis>
, and includes <emphasis>
last-pixel</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
An LBXPIXELALLOC entry indicates that the pixel in the <emphasis>
pixel </emphasis>
field is allocated as a read-only pixel. The <emphasis>
color</emphasis>
 field carries the color information of the pixel.
</para>


<para>
An LBXPIXELALLOCRANGE entry indicates that a contiguous range of pixels are
allocated as read-only. The range starts <emphasis>
first-pixel</emphasis>
 to <emphasis>
last-pixel</emphasis>
, and includes <emphasis>
last-pixel</emphasis>
. These fields are followed by a list of COLORSINGLE or COLORTRIPLE, depending
on the value of <emphasis>
three-channels</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
A NEXTCHANNEL entry indicates that the next channel of the colormap will be
described.
</para>


<para>
A LISTEND entry indicates the end of the colormap description.
</para>


<para>
All pixels not described in the reply are unallocated.
</para>

<para>
This request is sent by a proxy that has given colormap grabbed to allocate a
new read-only cell in the colormap. The proxy may substitute this request for
the core <emphasis>
AllocColor</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
AllocNamedColor</emphasis>
 requests.
</para>


<para>
The <emphasis>
pixel</emphasis>
 field identifies the colormap cell to allocate. The <emphasis>
red</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
green</emphasis>
, and <emphasis>
blue</emphasis>
 fields are the hardware specific color values of the corresponding fields of
the core <emphasis>
AllocColor</emphasis>
 request. The mapping to hardware specific colormap values by the proxy is
performed using the color algorithm negotiated by <emphasis>
LbxStartProxy</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
For colormaps of static visual types, the <emphasis>
LbxIncrementPixel</emphasis>
 request is used instead of LBX <emphasis>
AllocColor</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
If the <emphasis>
cmap</emphasis>
 field does not identify a grabbed colormap then a <emphasis>
BadAccess</emphasis>
 error is produced. If the <emphasis>
pixel</emphasis>
 field refers to a read-write entry, or the pixel field refers to a pixel
outside of the range of this colormap, a <emphasis>
BadAlloc</emphasis>
 error is produced.

<para>
This request is sent to the server when the client sends an X <emphasis>
ChangeProperty </emphasis>
request through the proxy. The size of the data is sent with this request, but
not the property data itself. The server reply contains a tag identifier for
the data, which is stored in the proxy. The proxy must not discard this data
before it is sent to the server, or invalidated by the server. This means that
before issuing an <emphasis>
LbxStopProxy</emphasis>
 request, or exiting, the proxy must send Lbx<emphasis>
TagData</emphasis>
 requests for these items. If the server loses the connection before the
information is sent back, the server should revert the property value to its
last known value, if possible.
</para>


<para>
If the <emphasis>
mode</emphasis>
 field is <emphasis>
Prepend</emphasis>
 or <emphasis>
Append</emphasis>
, the tag refers only to the prepended or appended data.
</para>


<para>
If the tag in the reply is zero, then the change was ignored by the server, as
defined in the security extension. The proxy should dump the associated data,
since the server will never ask for it.

<para>
This request may be used by the proxy as a substitution for a core <emphasis>
GetProperty</emphasis>
 request. It allows tags to be used for property data that is unlikely to
change often in value, but is likely to be fetched by multiple clients.
</para>


<para>
The <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 request has the same arguments as the core <emphasis>
GetProperty</emphasis>
 request. The reply for <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 has all of the fields from the core <emphasis>
GetProperty</emphasis>
 reply, but has the additional fields of <emphasis>
nItems</emphasis>
 and <emphasis>
tag</emphasis>
.
</para>


<para>
In order to utilize tags in <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 for a specific property, the server must first send the complete property data
to the proxy and associate this data with a tag. More precisely, the server
sends an <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 reply with a new <emphasis>
tag</emphasis>
, <emphasis>
nItems</emphasis>
 set to the number of items in the property, the size of the property data in
the reply length field, and the complete property data in value. The proxy
stores the property data in its tag cache and associates it with the specified
tag.
</para>


<para>
In response to future <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 requests for the same property, if the server thinks that the proxy has the
actual property data in its tag cache, it may choose to send an <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
 reply without the actual property data. In this case, the reply would include
a non-zero <emphasis>
tag</emphasis>
, a zero reply length, and no data for value.
</para>


<para>
If the server chooses not to generate a tagged reply to <emphasis>
LbxGetProperty</emphasis>
, or for some reason is unable to do so, it would send a reply with a <emphasis>
tag</emphasis>
 of zero, the size of the property data in the reply length field, and the
complete property data in value.

<para>
This request, along with the Lbx<emphasis>
LargeRequestData</emphasis>
 and Lbx<emphasis>
EndLargeRequest</emphasis>
 requests, is used to transport a large request in pieces. The smaller size of
the resulting requests allows smoother multiplexing of clients on a single low
bandwidth connection to the server. The resulting finer-grained multiplexing
improves responsiveness for the other clients.
</para>


<para>
After a <emphasis>
LbxBeginLargeRequest</emphasis>
 request is sent, multiple <emphasis>
LbxLargeRequestData</emphasis>
 requests are sent to transport all of the data in the large request, and
finally an <emphasis>
LbxEndLargeRequest</emphasis>
 request is sent. The large-request-length field expresses the total length of
the transported large request, expressed as the number of bytes in the
transported request divided by four.

<title>Algorithm Naming</title>

<para>
To avoid potential clashes between different but similar algorithms for stream,
bitmap, and pixmap compression, the following naming scheme will be adhered to:
</para>


<para>
Each algorithm has a unique name, which is a STRING8, of the following form:
</para>


<para>
   &lt;organization&gt;-&lt;some-descriptive-name&gt;
</para>


<para>
The organization field above is the organization name as registered in section
1 of the X Registry (the registry is provided as a free service by the X
Consortium.) This prevents conflicts among different vendor’s extensions.
</para>


<para>
As an example, the X Consortium defines a zlib-based stream compression
algorithm called XC-ZLIB.
</para>


</sect1>
<sect1 id='encoding'>
<title>Encoding</title>

<para>
The syntax and types used in the encoding are taken from the X protocol
encoding. Where LBX defines new types, they are defined earlier in this
document.
</para>


<para>
As in the X protocol, in various cases, the number of bytes occupied by a
component will be specified by a lowercase single-letter variable name instead
of a specific numeric value, and often some other component will have its value
specified as a simple numeric expression involving these variables. Components
specified with such expressions are always interpreted as unsigned integers.
The scope of such variables is always just the enclosing request, reply, error,
event, or compound type structure.
</para>


<para>
For unused bytes, the encode-form is:
</para>

<literallayout>
N            unused
</literallayout>

<para>
If the number of unused bytes is variable, the encode-form typically is:
</para>

<literallayout>
p            unused, p=pad(E)
</literallayout>

<para>
where E is some expression, and pad(E) is the number of bytes needed to round E
up to a multiple of four.
</para>


<para>
pad(E) = (4 - (E mod 4)) mod 4
</para>


<para>
In many of the encodings, the length depends on many variable length fields.
The variable L is used to indicate the number of padded 4 byte units needed to
carry the request. Similarly, the variable Lpad indicates the number of bytes
needed to pad the request to a 4 byte boundary.

<title>Re-encoding of X Events</title>

<para>
The X protocol requires all X events to be 32 bytes. The LBX server reduces the
number of bytes sent between the server and the proxy for some X events by not
appending unused pad bytes to the event data. The offsets of X event data are
unchanged. The proxy will pad the events to 32 bytes before passing them on to
the client.

LBX reencodes X event representations into the following sizes, if squishing is
