Description: X Window System client libraries
 NOTE: I really want to break this package up into lots of little
 packages for familiar, (mainly so we can dump things like Xt if no
 binaries depend on them). - Carl Worth <cworth@handhelds.org>
 .
 The X libraries are an interface between X client programs and the
 hardware-oriented X servers, and consist of routines to read input from the
 keyboard and pointer, draw on the screen, etc., in an abstract manner that is
 independent of the particular characteristics of the hardware.  The X
 libraries, and the programs that use them, communicate with X servers by
 means of the X protocol.
 .
 libX11 (a.k.a. Xlib) provides the low-level functionality, dealing mostly
 with the wire protocol and in terms of basic operations such as opening and
 closing the X protocol connection, creating graphics contexts, drawing
 graphics primitives such as lines, arcs, and glyphs, handling events, and so
 forth.
 .
 libXpm, the X pixmap library, is a set of routines used to store and retrieve
 X pixmaps (a data structure comprising a rectangular array of pixels) from
 files; the xpm file format is an extension of the monochrome bitmap file
 format in the X11 specification.  (Traditionally, libXpm was maintained and
 distributed separately from the X Window System, but XFree86 has absorbed
 this library).
 .
 libXt, the X Toolkit Instrinsics, is an abstract widget library upon which
 graphical widget libraries (such as Athena and LessTif) may be developed; the
 Intrinsics provide a number of useful interfaces to X conventions and
 protocols, in many cases reducing a long series of Xlib calls to just a
 couple of Xt calls.
 .
 libXmu is a set of miscellaneous utility functions useful to client
 programmers.
 .
 The remainder of the libraries in this package implement the client side
 of various X protocol extensions:
  - libICE, the Inter-Client Exchange extension;
  - libSM, the Session Management extension;
  - libXext, a collection of several commonly-used extensions;
  - libXi, the X Input extension;
  - libXp, the X Printing extension; 
  - libXrandr, the Rotate and Resize extension; and
  - libXtst, the X Testing extension.
 .
 xlibs also contains the XKB keyboard parameter files, locale data, and a set
 of bitmap and pixmap image files commonly used by X clients.
