[−][src]Module penrose::core::xconnection

API wrapper for talking to the X server using XCB

  • The crate used by penrose for talking to the X server is rust-xcb, which
  • is a set of bindings for the C level XCB library that are autogenerated
  • from an XML spec. The XML files can be found
  • here and are useful
  • as reference for how the API works. Sections have been converted and added
  • to the documentation of the method calls and enums present in this module.
  • EWMH
  • Xlib manual
