The third edition continues to serve as the definitive reference to each standard specification from the MIT X Consortium and conforms to the latest release -X Version 11, Release 5. Four separate sections describe: Xlib-C language X Interface--a reference manual to the lowest level C language X programming interface to the X Window System; X Window Protocol--a precise specification of the X protocol semantics; X Logical Font Description--the conventions for font names and properties in the X Window System; and Inter-Client Communications Conventions Manual--the conventions that govern X inter-client communication. The addition of four major components show software developers how to take full advantage of Release 5's significant new functionality; Device Independent Color Support; and Scalable Fonts. Part I, Xlib-C Language X Interface, is completely reorganized to improve the succinctness of presentation and accessibility to material. What's more, the third edition appropriately integrates the important new features of Release 5 into one comprehensive volume covering all the MIT X Consortium standards.
