xcbutilisbloat library

Utility functions for fonts, monitors and other properties using XCB, fontconfig, and freetype2.

Dependencies

Package Names Are From Arch Linux Repositories

Build and Runtime

• freetype2
• fontconfig
• libxcb

Build

• pkgconf (pkgconf or pkg-config command) I did not want to use pkgconf in the Makefile but including freetype2 otherwise is a real pain so thanks for that

Variable and Function Names

Variables and functions that are meant for use in programs including the library are prefixed with xuib and an underscore. Examples: xuib_function or xuib_variable
