# XLib Dynamic Loader
A single header file that dynamically loads the Xlib and GLX library
# Use
First, define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION and include the library
```c
#define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "XDL.h"
```
Next, use XDL_init to load the X11 module
```c
XDL_init();
```
When you're done, make sure to close the module, this frees all the allocated data and stored functions
```c
XDL_close();
```
You can also define XDL_NO_GLX before including XDL if you don't want to include the GLX module
```c
#define XDL_NO_GLX
#define XDL_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "XDL.h"
```
# Credits
* [GLFW](https://github.com/GLFW/GLFW) Much of this implementation is based on GLFW's internal x11 dynamic loader
A great portion of the declarations for the X11 module are sourced from GLFW
* [stb](https://github.com/nothings/stb/) This project is heavily inspired by the stb single header files
