xtrans - X Network Transport layer shared code
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
xtrans is a library of code that is shared among various X packages to
|
||
|
|
handle network protocol transport in a modular fashion, allowing a
|
||
|
|
single place to add new transport types. It is used by the X server,
|
||
|
|
libX11, libICE, the X font server, and related components.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is however, *NOT* a shared library, but code which each consumer
|
||
|
|
includes and builds it's own copy of with various #ifdef flags to make
|
||
|
|
each copy slightly different. To support this in the modular build
|
||
|
|
system, this package simply installs the C source files into
|
||
|
|
$(prefix)/include/X11/Xtrans and installs a pkg-config file and an
|
||
|
|
autoconf m4 macro file with the flags needed to use it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Documentation of the xtrans API can be found in the included xtrans.xml
|
||
|
|
file in DocBook XML format. If 'xmlto' is installed, you can generate text,
|
||
|
|
html, postscript or pdf versions of the documentation by configuring
|
||
|
|
the build with --enable-docs, which is the default.
