About libxcb

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which replaces the traditional Xlib interface. It has several advantages over Xlib, including:

  • size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
  • latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
  • direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
  • proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
  • easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib also uses 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.

More information about xcb is available from our website:

https://xcb.freedesktop.org/

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

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb/issues

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:

https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb

You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT from the libxcb code repository at:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb

For anonymous checkouts, use:
