Good learning material for interacting with X11 in C++

[Nineballo]

Alrighty so ill make this quick, cause im probably just being an idiot and cant find it.

 

Does X11 have any C++ documentation / Learning material?

If it does ill go read that, and if not could you point me in the general direction for learning how it all works/how to do the stuff below.

 

If I can figure these out I should have a good enough understanding to do pretty much whatever I need to do so if general documentation dosent pan out hopefully someone knows something specific...

- Simulating a keypress

- Simulating mouse movement

- Reading Keyboard input

- Selecting the window to read and write to based off its name, the currently active window, and just plain globaly.

Also what might help is finding a simple window manager and looking at the code

Alrighty, thanks for the docs and im definatly gonna go poke around at one to see the implementation.

There also is another implementation of the X protocol in C. supposedly easier

Alrighty ill give it a read through, if it is easier that would be cool cause xlib seems kinda massive / complicated...
