High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computing, XCB (X C Binding) is a C language binding for the X Window System. It is implemented as free software and aims to replace Xlib. The project was started in 2001 by Bart Massey. Xlib/XCB provides application binary interface compatibility with both Xlib and XCB, providing an incremental porting path. Xlib/XCB uses the protocol layer of Xlib, but replaces the Xlib transport layer with XCB, and provides access to the underlying XCB connection for direct use of XCB. Most distributions nowadays use Xlib/XCB for their libX11, because by opening a single connection to the X server this allows to mix usage of XCB and Xlib in an application and the libraries it uses. Secondary aims include making the C interface asynchronous, facilitating better multithreading and making extensions easier to implement (via XML protocol descriptions).
