+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.
+
+
+These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity:
+
+- render-util: Convenience functions for the Render extension.
+- aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests.
+- atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching.
+- property: Callback X property-change handling.
+- icccm: Both client and window-manager helpers for ICCCM.
+- keysyms: Standard X key constants and conversion to/from keycodes.
+- event: Callback X event handling.
+- image: Port of Xlib's XImage and XShmImage functions.
+- Framework for window manager implementation.
+
+The online API documentation can be found [here](/XcbUtil/api/), and can be built using doxygen.
