X11-clients use xlib to communicate with the display server.

Xlib (also known as libX11) is an X Window System protocol client library written in the C programming language. It contains functions for interacting with an X server. These functions allow programmers to write programs without knowing the details of the X protocol.

Few applications use Xlib directly; rather, they employ other libraries that use Xlib functions to provide widget toolkits:

  • X Toolkit Intrinsics (Xt)
  • Athena widget set (Xaw)
  • Motif
  • FLTK
  • GTK
  • Qt (X11 version)
  • Tk
  • SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)
  • SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library)

Xlib appeared around 1985,[citation needed] and is used in GUIs for many Unix-like operating systems. A re-implementation of Xlib was introduced in 2007 using XCB.[2]
