It doesn't. libdraw uses a custom protocol to speak with devdraw, which is a separate program and the only one in p9p which really depends on xlib. It is so to avoid having to write multithreaded applications for every graphical program, as it would happen if 9p was used, as it is in Plan 9. There is no reason you cannot rewrite devdraw using any other backend, and the p9p applications which use it would not need even a recompile. This model works well enough in p9p, but would be stupid in a tool like, for example, dmenu. I understand what's the idea behind yours libdraw, and I agree it is a fair goal but, please, change the name. By the way, why a file per function? I think that's crazy, and don't fit very well with the rest of everything-in-a-big-file suckless projects. -- - yiyus || JGL . 4l77.com
