4.3.14X Window System Documentation

The X Window System is a network-transparent window system, in which multiple applications can run simultaneously in windows, generating text and graphics in monochrome or color on a bitmap display. Network transparency means that application programs can run on machines scattered throughout the network. Because the X Window System permits applications to be device-independent, applications need not be rewritten, recompiled, or even relinked to work with new display hardware.

The documentation described in this section was written by the engineers who developed the X Window System and was provided by the X Consortium.

•X Window System: The Complete Reference to Xlib, X Protocol, ICCCM, XFLD

•Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual

The Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual proposes suitable conventions for interclient communications with X Window System Version 11 software. The proposed conventions do not attempt to enforce any particular user interface. To permit clients written in different languages to communicate, these conventions are expressed in terms of protocol operations, rather than the more familiar associated Xlib interfaces.
