Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 76c24a0ba9 sdk: add generic X return code
This type is should be used instead of plain int for all functions
returning and X error code (that's possibly sent to the client),
in order to make return value semantics clear to the humen reader.
(for the compiler, it still will be just an int)

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
