information The XCB library provides an interface to the X Window System protocol,
replacing 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 (access XCB from multiple threads, with no explicit locking), and easy
creation of new extensions (automatically generates its interface from the
machine-parsable XML-XCB protocol descriptions). 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.
Note that the CIA project "xcb" refers to the old combined repository, which
we have since split into several subprojects: "libxcb", "xcb/proto",
"xhsb", "xcb/demo", "xcb/util", and "xcb/wiki".
