X11 shared library for cursor management and rendering in X Window System applications.

Why you might care

Required as a runtime dependency for X11 applications that need to load, display, and manage cursor themes. Handles cursor image loading, caching, and rendering; most users will have this pulled in transitively via GUI application dependencies rather than installing directly.
