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. wm: Framework for window manager implementation.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
