This package contains the header and library files needed to build software using libxcb-atom, providing standard core x atom constants and atom caching.

the xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of libxcb, the core x protocol library, and some of the extension libraries. these experimental libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw x protocol more usable. some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the x protocol but which have traditionally been provided by xlib.
