Interface LibX11

All Superinterfaces:
com.sun.jna.Library
public interface LibX11 extends com.sun.jna.Library
JNA interface to the Xlib native library.

The only exposed API is that used to initialise XLib for multi-threaded access.

Usage is simple, at the start of an application: 

 int result = LibX11.INSTANCE.XInitThreads();
 // "result" will be non-zero if the native library call succeeded
