Hello, I was wondering where the names of various data types listed here may come from: http://www.x.org/wiki/XSessionManagementProtocol#Data_Types
Most of them are clear, but these ones picked my interest: CARD8 a one-byte unsigned integer CARD16 a two-byte unsigned integer CARD32 a four-byte unsigned integer Do you know what is the etymology of these type names? Do they mean "character...", but what does "d" stand for? In Lisp "car" is a function that returns the first element of the list but I think Xorg has nothing to do with Lisp. History is interesting ;) -- <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
