It provides stubs for the following methods: =head2 open $conn = X11::Protocol::Connection::Foo->open($host, $display_num) Open a connection to the specified display (numbered from 0) on the specified $host. =head2 give $conn->give($data) Send the given data to the server. Normally, this method is used only by the protocol module itself. =head2 get $data = $conn->get($n) Read $n bytes of data from the server. Normally, this method is used only by the protocol module itself. =head2 fh $filehandle = $conn->fh Return an object suitable for use as a filehandle. This is mainly useful for doing select() and other such system calls. =head1 AUTHOR Stephen McCamant <SMCCAM@cpan.org>. =head1 SEE ALSO L<perl(1)>, L<X11::Protocol>, L<X11::Protocol::Connection::Socket>, L<X11::Protocol::Connection::FileHandle>, L<X11::Protocol::Connection::INETSocket>, L<X11::Protocol::Connection::UNIXSocket>, L<X11::Protocol::Connection::INETFH>, L<X11::Protocol::Connection::UNIXFH>. =cut
