34 This module is an abstract base class for the various
35 X11::Protocol::Connection::* modules that provide connections to X
36 servers for the X11::Protocol module. It provides stubs for the
37 following methods:
38
39 open
40 $conn = X11::Protocol::Connection::Foo->open($host, $display_num)
41
42 Open a connection to the specified display (numbered from 0) on the
43 specified $host.
44
45 give
46 $conn->give($data)
47
48 Send the given data to the server. Normally, this method is used only
49 by the protocol module itself.
50
51 get
52 $data = $conn->get($n)
53
54 Read $n bytes of data from the server. Normally, this method is used
55 only by the protocol module itself.
56
57 fh
58 $filehandle = $conn->fh
59
60 Return an object suitable for use as a filehandle. This is mainly
61 useful for doing select() and other such system calls.
