Description:

Ecore is a nice convenience library. It handles abstracting X calls so
you don't have to pass as many parameters to them. It wraps lots of
other sequences of X calls you want to do often, handles caching local
geometry of windows to save extra X traffic, abstracts X's events and
adds a timer system to be able to do timeouts, handles the core event
loops, abstracts signals into being events in the event queue, and lets
you arbitrarily add other file descriptors to the loop to listen on and
have handlers be called when they become active, and much much more.
Ecore also handles filtering events and calling idle handlers when
appropriate. Ecore is just what it says - a very complex CORE subsystem.
It is all callback based, and keeps everything abstracted - but does not
move away from normal X11 primitives like other abstractions (GDK for
example), thus keeping 100 percent compatibility with normal Xlib stuff.
The core innards of E17 rely heavily on Ecore and its ability to not just
work, but work well and optimize silently for E17.

This package contains shared Ecore library.
