Hi all

i would like to know about X Window System in LINUX machine.
what is this?
where and how , it is used.

can you please explain me about.

any help it should be appreciable.

A web search for "xlib tutorial" should give you a few starting points.

Or you could also look up "xcb tutorial". XCB is an alternative to xlib, so you would usually use one or the other, but not both.

check www.tldp.org too...

Hi, swift2008 -

Basically, "X Windows" is the foundation that provides the GUI for most Linux (and many other *nix) systems.

X Windows isn't part of "Linux" itself, but it's so commonly associated with Linux that you can safely assume that if your Linux has a GUI, that GUI probably uses X Windows.

The programming interface for creating X Windows-based programs is "Xlib". However, there are many higher-level GUI programming libraries that make coding in Xlib more or less irrelevant. Two (of many) examples include the Qt and GTK+ GUI libraries.

'Hope that helps .. PSM
