Is x-linked recessive inheritence the same as x-linked inheritence, or are they two seperate entities?

I saw that Fragile-X was refered to as x-linked, and Duchenne as x-linked recessive in 'First Aid' pg. 146.

Thanks!

When they say x link inheritance they are usually referring to x linked recessive . Because x linked dominant is rare.
{For x linked dominant I only know of Hypophosphatemia and VitaminD resistant rickets}
