brew install libxdamage v1.1.7 MIT

X11 Damage Extension shared library for detecting and reporting drawable changes.

Why you might care

Required as a build dependency for X11-based GUI applications that need to efficiently detect window damage regions for compositing, rendering, or screen capture. This is a low-level X.Org protocol library; most users will install it transitively via package managers rather than directly.
