Xsearch for term

Provides the basis for a graphical user interface.

X provides the basic framework, or primitives, for building graphical user interface environments: drawing and moving windows on the screen and interacting with a mouse and/or keyboard. X does not define the user interface — individual client programs handle this. As such, the visual styling of X-based environments varies greatly; different programs may present radically different interfaces. X is built as an additional application layer on top of the operating system kernel.
