xtrans

brew install xtrans v1.6.0 MIT

X.Org shared library providing network transport abstractions for X11 clients and servers.

Why you might care

This is a build dependency for X11 libraries and applications; you don't use it directly from the shell. It abstracts X Network Transport layer details (TCP, Unix sockets, etc.) so X.Org packages don't duplicate that code. Primarily relevant if you're compiling X11-based GUI apps or X servers.
