Standards, Environments, and Macros		    XSTANDARDS(5)



NAME
     XStandards	- X Window System Standards and	Specifications

SYNOPSIS
     The major goal of the X Consortium	was to	promote	 coopera-
     tion  within  the computer	industry in the	creation of stan-
     dard software interfaces at all layers in the X Window  Sys-
     tem  environment.	 The  X	 Consortium  produced standards	-
     documents	which  defined	network	 protocols,   programming
     interfaces,  and  other aspects of	the X environment.  These
     standards	continue  to  exist  in	 the   X.Org   Foundation
     releases.	 The  X.Org  Foundation	 also produces specifica-
     tions.  Like X Window System Standards, these are	documents
     which  define network protocols, programming interfaces, and
     other aspects of the X environment.  Under	the aegis of  The
     Open  Group,  X  Window  System  standards, X.Org Foundation
     specifications, and other specifications are the  basis  for
     portions of The Open Group's various CAE specifications.

     The status	of various  standards,	specifications,	 and  the
     software in the X11R6.7 distribution, is explained	below.

NON STANDARDS
     The X11R6.7 distribution  contains	 sample	 implementations,
     not reference implementations.  Although much of the code is
     believed to be correct, the code should be	assumed	to be  in
     error wherever it conflicts with the specification.

     The only X	Window	System	standards  are	the  ones  listed
     above.   No  other	 documents, include files, or software in
     X11R6.7 carry special status within  the  X  Window  System.
     For  example, none	of the following are standards:	 internal
     interfaces	of the sample server; the MIT-SHM extension;  the
     Athena Widget Set;	the Xmu	library; the Xau library; the RGB
     database; the X Locale database; the fonts	distributed  with
     X11R6.7;  the  applications  distributed  with  X11R6.7; the
     include	files	 <X11/XWDFile.h>,     <X11/Xfuncproto.h>,
     <X11/Xfuncs.h>, <X11/Xosdefs.h>, <X11/Xos.h>, <X11/Xos_r.h>,
     <X11/Xwinsock.h>, and <X11/Xthreads.h>; the bitmap	files  in
     <X11/bitmaps>.

     The Multi-Buffering extension was a draft standard	of the	X
     Consortium	but has	been superseded	by DBE as a standard.


X REGISTRY
     The X.Org Foundation maintains  a	registry  of  certain  X-
     related  items,  to  aid in avoiding conflicts and	to aid in
     sharing of	such items.

     The registry is published as part of  the	X  Window  System
     software release.	The latest version may also be found at
	  ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/registry
     The X Registry and	the names in it	are not	X  Window  System
     standards.

.SH NAME
XStandards \- X Window System Standards and Specifications
.SH SYNOPSIS
The major goal of the X Consortium was to promote cooperation within the
computer industry in the creation of standard software interfaces at
all layers in the X Window System environment.
The X Consortium produced standards - documents which
defined network protocols, programming interfaces, and
other aspects of the X environment.  These standards
continue to exist in the X.Org Foundation releases.
The X.Org Foundation also produces specifications.
Like X Window System Standards, these are documents
which define network protocols, programming interfaces,
and other aspects of the X environment.  Under the aegis
of The Open Group, X Window System standards, X.Org Foundation
specifications, and other specifications are the
basis for portions of The Open Group's various CAE
specifications.
.PP
The status of various standards, specifications, and
the software in the X11R6.7 distribution, is explained below.

.SH "NON STANDARDS"
The X11R6.7 distribution contains \fIsample\fP implementations, not
\fIreference\fP implementations.  Although much of the code is believed
to be correct, the code should be assumed to be in error wherever it
conflicts with the specification.
.PP
The only X Window System standards are the ones listed above.
No other documents, include files, or software in X11R6.7 carry special
status within the X Window System.  For example, none of the following
are standards:
internal interfaces of the sample server;
the MIT-SHM extension;
the Athena Widget Set;
the Xmu library;
the Xau library;
the RGB database;
the X Locale database;
the fonts distributed with X11R6.7;
the applications distributed with X11R6.7;
the include files <X11/XWDFile.h>, <X11/Xfuncproto.h>, <X11/Xfuncs.h>,
<X11/Xosdefs.h>, <X11/Xos.h>, <X11/Xos_r.h>, <X11/Xwinsock.h>, and
<X11/Xthreads.h>;
the bitmap files in <X11/bitmaps>.
.PP
The Multi-Buffering extension was a draft standard of the
X Consortium but has been superseded by DBE as a standard.

.SH "X REGISTRY"
The X.Org Foundation maintains a registry of certain X-related items, to
aid in avoiding conflicts and to aid in sharing of such items.
.PP
The registry is published as part of the X Window System software
release.
The latest version may also be found at
.nf
	ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/registry
.fi
The X Registry and the names in it are not X Window System standards.
