These experimental libraries provide convenience functions +and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the +libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of +the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib. + +If you find any of these libraries useful, please let us know what +you're using and why you aren't in a mental hospital yet. We'd welcome +patches/suggestions for enhancement and new libraries; Please report any +issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker, at: + + https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb-util/issues + +Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list: + + https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb + +About XCB util module +===================== + +XCB util module provides the following libraries: + + - aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests. + - atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching. + - event: Some utilities that have little to do with events any more. + +You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB util using GIT from: + + https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb-util + + For anonymous checkouts, use: + + git clone --recursive https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb-util.git + + For developers, use: + + git clone --recursive git@gitlab.freedesktop.org:xorg/lib/libxcb-util.git |
