Description: X C Binding
Xlib has been the standard C binding for the X Window System protocol for
many years now. It is an excellent piece of work, but there are applications
for which it is not ideal. XCB builds on nearly two decades of experience
with X specifically and software engineering in general in an effort to
replace the aging Xlib code base.
This package contains the library files needed to run software using the X C
Binding (XCB).

This package contains the library files needed to run software using
XCB.
The XCB library provides an interface to the X Window System protocol,
designed to replace the Xlib interface. XCB provides several advantages over
Xlib:
.
* Size: small library and lower memory footprint
* Latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
* Direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
* Thread support: access XCB from multiple threads, with no explicit locking
* Easy creation of new extensions: automatically generates interface from
machine-parsable protocol descriptions
