Feel free to open issues for any problems or questions you might have. A comparison with some other Rust X11 libraries is available in an extra document.
This crate uses a code generator that is implemented in Rust. A copy of the generated code is included, so you do not need to run the generator unless you have modified the definitions or the generator itself.
The code generator uses the X11 XML description from xcb-proto
. A copy of
xcb-proto that comes with the source code is used.
No. If you have so many X11 connections that this would matter, you are doing something wrong. Also, it encourages people to write high-latency code instead of sending multiple requests and only afterwards wait for the replies.
The following features are enabled by default:
allow-unsafe-code
: Without this feature,forbid(unsafe_code)
forbids all unsafe code. With this feature,XCBConnection
becomes available.
The full X11 protocol is supported by this library. All extensions that are
available in xcb-proto
can be used and even FD
passing with the server is supported.
The changelog is available in a separate file.
