13 Description: X C Binding - protocol descriptions
14 Xlib has been the standard C binding for the X Window System protocol
15 for many years now. It is an excellent piece of work, but there are
16 applications for which it is not ideal. XCB builds on nearly two
17 decades of experience with X specifically and software engineering in
18 general in an effort to replace the aging Xlib code base.
20 xcb-proto contains descriptions of the X core protocol and selected
21 extensions in an XML-based data format. XCB uses these descriptions to
22 generate much of its code. You only need this package if you want to compile
23 XCB or otherwise make use of these protocol descriptions.
