Description
X Window System servers run on computers with bitmapped displays. The server
distributes user input to and accepts output requests from various client programs through
a variety of different interprocess communication channels. Although the most common
case is for the client programs to be running on the same machine as the server, clients
can be run transparently from other machines (including machines with different
architectures and operating systems) as well.
X supports overlapping hierarchical subwindows and text and graphics operations, on
both monochrome and color displays. For a full explanation of the functions that are

The
X Window System Protocol

The various Toolkit documents.
The number of programs that use X is quite large. Programs provided in the core MIT
distribution include: a terminal emulator (
