Zephaniah E. Hull 5ec55dc9c0 Define and use constants for opcode numbers.
Hard coding the opcode numbers in the function just makes it harder to figure
out what's going on, but much more to the point, not defining the opcodes in
the header makes it impossible to use the generated headers instead of the
x11proto headers in the server.

The name I settled on is very simple, for an extension by the name of xconf,
and a request by the name of list_devices, we get XCB_XCONF_LIST_DEVICES.  If
this somehow causes problems, we can probably add a _OP somewhere in there,
but.

doc/tutorial fix some indentation, remove args of the main function (not needed), xcb_sync -> xcb_aux_sync. Jamey, it seems that your script transforms XCBGetSetup into a type, instead of a function. Same for XCBSetupVendor. Maybe there are other fuctions that have the same problem. 2006-09-30 13:06:58 +02:00

About libxcb
============

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, slated to
replace the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- 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
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.


Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:
