How to get window title on Linux? (Ubuntu/Xlib)

• xdotool

  38 3,016 4.1 C

  fake keyboard/mouse input, window management, and more

I am trying to programmatically obtain a title of a process window I have PID of in Ubuntu with default configuration, or a clean Ubuntu installation if you will. I know this is possible on Linux, as I managed to get that information with xdotool, however I am trying to find a way to perform this task without an external program. That tool relies on xlib, a C solution for window management. I found an incomplete wrapper of it called X11.net and attempted to essentially translate this code to C# using it, resulting in the following:

• X11.Net

  1 52 0.0 C#

  Xlib interface for .NET core/C#.
