X C Binding, development files This package contains the header and library files needed to build software using libxcb, the X C Binding. 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
