Odin language bindings for XCB (X protocol C-language Binding), providing low-level access to the X Window System protocol.

XCB is a modern replacement for Xlib that offers a lightweight, efficient interface to the X11 protocol. These bindings enable Odin developers to create native X11 applications with direct protocol access.

• Complete bindings for XCB core protocol (xproto)
• Extension support including:
  • BigRequests (bigreq)
  • DRI3 (dri3)
  • RandR (randr)
  • Render (render)
  • MIT-SHM (shm)
  • XC-MISC (xc_misc)
  • XKB (xkb)
• Utility libraries:
  • XCB Cursor
  • XCB EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints)
  • XCB Image
  • XCB Keysyms
  • XCB Pixel
  • XCB RenderUtil

For seamless integration with the Odin standard library collection, install the xcb folder in your Odin installation's vendor directory:

<ODIN_ROOT>/vendor/x11/xcb/

Where <ODIN_ROOT> is your Odin installation directory.

Example paths:

• Linux/macOS: /usr/local/Odin/vendor/x11/xcb/
• Windows: C:\Odin\vendor\x11\xcb\

Alternatively, you can clone this repository to any location and import it using relative or absolute paths in your Odin projects.

Import the XCB bindings in your Odin code:

import xcb "vendor:x11/xcb"

Or if using a custom installation path:

import xcb "path/to/xcb"

some field names in structs and enums may be changed to remove conflict with reserved word differences between C and Odin.
