drmkit-cursor

Cursor themes, and the cursors in them.

Theme indexes the XCursor themes installed on a machine and resolves a cursor name -- following each theme's Inherits= chain and the alias table that maps modern names onto whatever legacy name a theme happens to ship -- to a file on disk. It reads no pixels, which keeps it cheap and testable without a display.

Cursor is the other half: it reads one of those files into frames, hotspots and timing. A cursor file is untrusted input, so the parser bounds every length against the bytes actually present before allocating anything -- see the xcursor module for why that is not delegated to a crate.

Part of drmkit, a Rust port of drm-cxx. API documentation is on docs.rs.
