  • DESCRIPTION
      This module is an abstract base class for the various X11::Protocol::Connection::* modules that provide connections to X servers for the X11::Protocol module. It provides stubs for the following methods:
  • "open"

        $conn = X11::Protocol::Connection::Foo->open($host, $display_num)


      Open a connection to the specified display (numbered from 0) on the specified $host.
  • "give"

        $conn->give($data)


      Send the given data to the server. Normally, this method is used only by the protocol module itself.
  • "get"

        $data = $conn->get($n)


      Read $n bytes of data from the server. Normally, this method is used only by the protocol module itself.
  • "fh"

        $filehandle = $conn->fh


      Return an object suitable for use as a filehandle. This is mainly useful for doing select() and other such system calls.
