The libxcb package provides a replacement for the current Xlib interface.
|
|
Some of its advantages include:
|
|
- 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.
