XGB is the X Go Binding, which is a low-level API to communicate with the
core X protocol and many of the X extensions. It is closely modeled after
XCB and xpyb.

It is thread safe and gets immediate improvement from parallelism when
GOMAXPROCS > 1. (See the benchmarks in xproto/xproto_test.go for evidence.)

Please see doc.go for more info.

Note that unless you know you need XGB, you can probably make your life
easier by using a slightly higher level library: xgbutil.

This is a fork of github.com/BurntSushi/xgb

Quick Usage
===========
go get github.com/Rom4eg/xgb
go run go/path/src/github.com/Rom4eg/xgb/examples/create-window/main.go

jezek's Fork
============
I've forked the XGB repository from BurntSushi's github to apply some
patches which caused panics and memory leaks upon close and tests were added,
to test multiple server close scenarios.

BurntSushi's Fork
=================
I've forked the XGB repository from Google Code due to inactivty upstream.

Godoc documentation can be found here:

Much of the code has been rewritten in an effort to support thread safety
and multiple extensions. Namely, go_client.py has been thrown away in favor
of an xgbgen package.

The biggest parts that *haven't* been rewritten by me are the connection and
authentication handshakes. They're inherently messy, and there's really no
reason to re-work them. The rest of XGB has been completely rewritten.

I like to release my code under the WTFPL, but since I'm starting with someone
else's work, I'm leaving the original license/contributor/author information
in tact.

I suppose I can legitimately release xgbgen under the WTFPL. To be fair, it is
at least as complex as XGB itself. *sigh*

What follows is the original README:
