NAME
X11::XCB - perl bindings for libxcb
SYNOPSIS
use X11::XCB::Connection;
my $x = X11::XCB::Connection->new;
my $window = $x->root->create_child(
class => WINDOW_CLASS_INPUT_OUTPUT,
rect => [0, 0, 200, 200],
background_color => '#FF00FF',
);
$window->map;
DESCRIPTION
These bindings wrap libxcb (a C library to speak with X11, in many cases better than Xlib in many
aspects) and provide a nice object oriented interface to its methods (using Mouse).
Please note that its aim is NOT to provide yet another toolkit for creating graphical applications. It is
a low-level method of communicating with X11. Use cases include testcases for all kinds of X11
applications, implementing really simple applications which do not require an graphical toolkit (such as
GTK, QT, etc.) or command-line utilities which communicate with X11.
WARNING: X11::XCB is in a rather early stage and thus API breaks may happen in future versions. It is not
yet widely used.
