# libxcb-util

The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries.
These experimental libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable.
Some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib.

These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity:
* render-util: Convenience functions for the Render extension.
* aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests.
* atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching.
* property: Callback X property-change handling.
* icccm: Both client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM.
* keysyms: Standard X key constants and conversion to/from keycodes.
* event: Callback X event handling.
* image: Port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage functions.
* wm: Framework for window manager implementation.
