<para>
This document both unifies and extends the previous diverse approaches
to generate a proposal for an X extension that provides support for
the recording of all core X protocol and arbitrary extension protocol.
Input synthesis, or playback, has already been implemented in the
XTest extension, an X Consortium standard.  Therefore, this extension
is limited to recording.
</para>

<para>
In order to provide both record and playback functionality, a
hypothetical record application could use this extension to capture
both user actions and their consequences.  For example, a button press
(a user action) may cause a window to be mapped and a corresponding
<function>MapNotify</function>
event to be sent (a consequence).  This information could be
stored for later use by a playback application.
</para>

<para>
The playback application could use the recorded actions as input for
the XTest extension's
<function>XTestFakeInput</function>
operation to synthesize the
appropriate input events.  The "consequence" or synchronization
information is then used as a synchronization point during playback.
That is, the playback application does not generate specific
synthesized events until their matching synchronization condition
occurs.  When the condition occurs the processing of synthesized
events continues.  Determination that the condition has occurred may be
made by capturing the consequences of the synthesized events and
comparing them to the previously recorded synchronization information.
For example, if a button press was followed by a
<function>MapNotify</function>
event on a
particular window in the recorded data, the playback application might
synthesize the button press then wait for the
<function>MapNotify</function>
event on the
appropriate window before proceeding with subsequent synthesized
input.
</para>

<para>
Because
it is impossible to predict what synchronization information will be
required by a particular application, the extension provides
facilities to record any subset of core X protocol and arbitrary
extension protocol.
As such, this extension does not enforce a specific
synchronization methodology; any method based on information in the X
protocol stream (e.g., watching for window mapping/unmapping, cursor
changes, drawing of certain text strings, etc.) can capture the
information it needs using RECORD facilities.

<title>Acknowledgements</title>
<para>
The document represents the culmination of two years of debate and
experiments done under the auspices of the X Consortium xtest working
group.  Although this was a group effort, the author remains
responsible for any errors or omissions.
Two years ago, Robert Chesler of Absol-puter, Kieron Drake of UniSoft
Ltd., Marc Evans of Synergytics and Ken Miller of Digitial shared the
vision of a standard extension for recording and were all instrumental
in the early protocol development.  During the last two years, Bob
Scheifler of the X Consortium and Jim Fulton of NCD continuously
provided input to the protocol design, as well as encouragement to the
author.  In the last few months, Stephen Gildea and Dave Wiggins,
both X Consortium staff, have spent considerable time fine tuning the
protocol design and reviewing the protocol specifications.  Most
recently, Amnon Cohen of Mercury Interactive has assisted in
clarification of the recorded event policy, and Kent Siefkes of
Performance Awareness has assisted in clarification of the timestamp
policy.

<title>Design</title>
<para>
This section gives an overview of the RECORD extension and discusses
its overall operation and data types.
</para>

<sect1 id="Overview">
<title>Overview</title>
<para>
The mechanism used by this extension for recording is to intercept
core X protocol and arbitrary X extension protocol entirely within the X server
itself.  When the extension has been requested to intercept specific
protocol by one or more clients, the protocol data are formatted and
returned to the recording clients.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The extension provides a mechanism for capturing all events, including
input device events that go to no clients, that is analogous to a client
expressing "interest" in all events in all windows, including the root
window.  Event filtering in the extension provides a mechanism for feeding
device events to recording clients; it does not provide a mechanism for
in-place, synchronous event substitution, modification, or withholding.
In addition, the
extension does not provide data compression before intercepted protocol
is returned to the recording clients.
</para>
<sect2 id="Data_Delivery">
<title>Data Delivery</title>
<!-- .XS -->
<!-- (SN Data Delivery -->
<!-- .XE -->
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
Because
events are limited in size to
32 bytes, using events to return intercepted protocol data to recording
clients is prohibitive in terms of performance.  Therefore, intercepted
protocol data are returned to recording clients through multiple replies
to the extension request to begin protocol interception and reporting.
This utilization is consistent with
<function>ListFontsWithInfo ,</function>
for example, where a
single request has multiple replies.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
Individual requests, replies, events or errors intercepted by the extension
on behalf of recording clients cannot be split across reply packets.  In order
to reduce overhead, multiple intercepted requests, replies, events and errors
might be collected
into a single reply.
Nevertheless, all data are returned to the client in a timely manner.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="Record_Context">
<title>Record Context</title>
<!-- .XS -->
<!-- (SN Record Context -->
<!-- .XE -->
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The extension adds a record context resource (RC)
to the set of resources managed by the server.  All the
extension operations take an RC as an argument.  Although the protocol
permits sharing of RCs between clients, it is expected that clients will
use their own RCs.  The attributes used in extension operations are stored
in the RCs, and these attributes include the protocol and clients to
intercept.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The terms "register" and "unregister" are used to describe the
relationship between clients to intercept and the RC.  To register
a client with an RC means the client is added to the list
of clients to intercept; to unregister a client means the client
is deleted from the list of clients to intercept.  When the
server is requested to register or unregister clients from an RC,
it is required to do so immediately.  That is, it is not permissible for
the server to wait until recording is enabled to register clients
or recording is disabled to unregister clients.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="Record_Client_Connections">
<title>Record Client Connections</title>
<!-- .XS -->
<!-- (SN Record Client Connections -->
<!-- .XE -->
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The typical communication model for a recording client is to open
two connections to the server and use one for RC control and
the other for reading protocol data.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The "control" connection can execute requests to obtain information about
the supported protocol version, create and destroy RCs, specify protocol
types to intercept and clients to be recorded, query the current state
of an RC, and to stop interception and reporting of protocol data.  The
"data" connection can execute a request to
enable interception
and reporting of specified protocol for a particular RC.  When the
"enable" request is issued, intercepted protocol is sent back on the
same connection, generally in more than one reply packet.  Until the last
reply to the "enable" request is sent by the server, signifying that
the request execution is complete, no other requests will be executed by
the server on that connection.  That is, the connection that data are being
reported on cannot issue the "disable" request until the last reply
to the "enable" request is sent by the server.  Therefore, unless a
recording client never has the need to disable the interception and reporting
of protocol data, two client connections are necessary.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="Events">
<title>Events</title>
<!-- .XS -->
<!-- (SN Events -->
<!-- .XE -->
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The terms "delivered events" and "device events" are used
to describe the two event classes recording clients may
select for interception.  These event classes are handled differently
by the extension.  Delivered events are core X events or X extension events
the server actually delivers to one or more clients.  Device events are
events generated by core X devices or extension input devices that the
server may or may not deliver to any clients.  When device events
are selected for interception by a recording client, the extension
guarantees each device event is recorded and will be forwarded
to the recording client in the same order it is generated by the
device.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The recording of selected device events is not affected
by server grabs.  Delivered events, on the other hand, can be affected
by server grabs.
If a recording client selects both
a device event and delivered events that result from that device
event, the delivered events are recorded after the device event.
In the absence of grabs, the delivered events for a
device event precede later device events.

The XIDBASE type is used to identify a particular client.  Valid

of any connected client,
in which case the client
that created the resource is specified, or the resource identifier
base sent to the target client from the server in the connection setup
reply.  A value of 0 (zero) is valid when the XIDBASE is associated

</para>

<para>
CLIENTSPEC: XIDBASE or {<emphasis>CurrentClients</emphasis>,
<emphasis>FutureClients</emphasis>, <emphasis>AllClients</emphasis>}
</para>

<para>
The CLIENTSPEC type defines the set of clients the RC attributes are
associated with.  This type is used by recording clients when creating
an RC or when changing RC attributes.  XIDBASE specifies that the RC
attributes apply to a single client only.
<function>CurrentClients</function>
specifies
that the RC attributes apply to current client connections;
<function>FutureClients</function>
specifies future client connections;
<function>AllClients</function>
specifies all client connections, which includes current and future.
</para>

<para>
The numeric values for
<function>CurrentClients ,</function>
<function>FutureClients</function>
and
<function>AllClients</function>
are
defined such that there will be no intersection with valid XIDBASEs.

<para>
This request specifies the RECORD extension protocol version the client
would like to use.  When the specified protocol version is supported
by the extension, the protocol version the server expects from the
client is returned.  Clients must use this request before other RECORD
extension requests.
</para>

<para>
This request also determines whether or not the RECORD extension protocol
version specified by the client is supported by the extension.  If the
extension supports the version specified by the client, this version number
should be returned.  If the client has requested a higher version than is
supported by the server, the server's highest version should be returned.
Otherwise, if the client has requested a lower version than is supported
by the server, the server's lowest version should be returned.  This document
defines major version one (1),
minor version thirteen (13).

<para>
This request queries the current state of the specified <emphasis remap='I'>context</emphasis>
and is typically used by a recording client over the control connection.
The <emphasis remap='I'>enabled</emphasis> field
specifies the state of data transfer between the extension and the
recording client, and is either enabled
<function>( True )</function>
or disabled
<function>( False ).</function>
The initial state is disabled.
When enabled, all core X protocol and
extension protocol received from (requests) or sent to (replies,
errors, events) a particular client, and requested to be intercepted
by the recording client, is reported to the recording client over the
data connection.
The <emphasis remap='I'>element-header</emphasis> specifies the header that precedes each
recorded protocol element.
The
<emphasis remap='I'>intercepted-clients</emphasis> field specifies the list of clients currently
being recorded and the protocol associated with each client.
If future clients will be automatically registered with the context,
one of the returned CLIENT_INFO structures has a <emphasis remap='I'>client-resource</emphasis> value
of FutureClients and an <emphasis remap='I'>intercepted-protocol</emphasis> giving the protocol to
intercept for future clients.
Protocol ranges may be decomposed, coalesced, or otherwise modified
by the server from how they were specified by the client.
All CLIENTSPECs registered with the server are returned, even if the
RECORDRANGE(s) associated with them specify no protocol to record.

<para>
This request enables data transfer between the recording client
and the extension and returns the protocol data the recording client
has previously expressed interest in.  Typically, this request is
executed by the recording client over the data connection.
</para>

<para>
If the client is registered on the <emphasis remap='I'>context</emphasis>, it is unregistered
before any recording begins.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
Once the server receives this request, it begins intercepting
and reporting to the recording client all core and extension protocol
received from or sent to clients registered with the RC that the
recording client has expressed interest in.  All intercepted protocol data
is returned in the byte-order of the recorded client.  Therefore,
recording clients are responsible for all byte swapping, if required.
More than one recording client cannot enable data transfer on the
same RC at the same time.  Multiple intercepted requests, replies,
events and errors might be packaged into a single reply before
being returned to the recording clients.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The
<emphasis remap='I'>category</emphasis> field determines the possible
types of the data.
When a context is enabled, the server will immediately send a reply of
category
<function>StartOfData</function>
to notify the client that recording is enabled.
A category of
<function>FromClient</function>
means the data are from the client
(requests);
<function>FromServer</function>
means data are from the server (replies,
errors, events, or device events).
For a new client, the category is
<function>ClientStarted</function>
and the data are the connection setup reply.
When
the recorded client connection is closed, <emphasis remap='I'>category</emphasis> is
set to the value
<function>ClientDied</function>
and no protocol is included in this reply.
When the disable request is made over the control connection,
a final reply is sent over the data connection with category
<function>EndOfData</function>
and no protocol.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The <emphasis remap='I'>element-header</emphasis> field returns the value currently set for the
context, which tells what header information precedes each recorded
protocol element in this reply.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The <emphasis remap='I'>client-swapped</emphasis> field is
<function>True</function>
if the byte order of
the protocol being recorded
is swapped
relative to the recording client;
otherwise, <emphasis remap='I'>client-swapped</emphasis> is
<function>False .</function>
The recorded protocol
is in the byte order of the client being
recorded; device events are in the byte order of the
recording client.
For replies of category
<function>StartOfData</function>
and
<function>EndOfData</function>
the
<emphasis remap='I'>client-swapped</emphasis> bit is set
according
to the byte order of the server relative to the recording client.
The <emphasis remap='I'>id-base</emphasis> field is the resource identifier base
sent to the client from the server in the
connection setup reply, and hence, identifies the client being
recorded.  The <emphasis remap='I'>id-base</emphasis> field is 0 (zero) when the protocol
data being
returned are device events.
The <emphasis remap='I'>server-time</emphasis> field is set to the time of the
server when the first protocol element in this reply was intercepted.
The <emphasis remap='I'>server-time</emphasis>
of reply N+1 is greater than or equal to the <emphasis remap='I'>server-time</emphasis> of reply N,
and is greater than or equal to the time of the last protocol
element in reply N.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The <emphasis remap='I'>recorded-sequence-number</emphasis> field is set to the sequence number
of the recorded client's most recent request processed by the server.
</para>
<para>
<!-- .LP -->
The <emphasis remap='I'>data</emphasis> field
contains the raw protocol data being returned to the recording client.
If requested by the <emphasis remap='I'>element-header</emphasis> of this record context, each
protocol element may be preceded by a 32-bit timestamp and/or
a 32-bit sequence number.
If present, both the timestamp and sequence number are always in the
byte order of the recording client.

This request is typically executed by the recording client over the
control connection.  This request directs the extension to immediately
send any complete protocol elements currently buffered,
to send a final reply with category
<function>EndOfData ,</function>
and to discontinue
data transfer between the extension and the recording client.
Protocol reporting is disabled
on the data connection that is currently enabled for the given
<emphasis remap='I'>context</emphasis>.  Once the extension completes
processing this request, no additional recorded protocol will
be reported to the recording client.  If a data connection is not
currently enabled when this request is executed, then this request has
no affect on the state of data transfer.
An RC is disabled automatically when the connection to the enabling
