<request name="sync">
<description summary="asynchronous roundtrip">
The sync request asks the server to emit the 'done' event
on the returned wl_callback object. Since requests are
handled in-order and events are delivered in-order, this can
be used as a barrier to ensure all previous requests and the
resulting events have been handled.
The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not
attempt to use it after that point.

<interface name="wl_registry" version="1">
<description summary="global registry object">
The global registry object. The server has a number of global
objects that are available to all clients. These objects
typically represent an actual object in the server (for example,
an input device) or they are singleton objects that provide
extension functionality.
When a client creates a registry object, the registry object
will emit a global event for each global currently in the
registry. Globals come and go as a result of device or
monitor hotplugs, reconfiguration or other events, and the
registry will send out global and global_remove events to
keep the client up to date with the changes. To mark the end
of the initial burst of events, the client can use the
wl_display.sync request immediately after calling
wl_display.get_registry.
A client can bind to a global object by using the bind
request. This creates a client-side handle that lets the object
emit events to the client and lets the client invoke requests on
the object.

destroy that object.
The object remains valid and requests to the object will be
ignored until the client destroys it, to avoid races between
the global going away and a client sending a request to it.

The wl_shm_pool object encapsulates a piece of memory shared
between the compositor and client. Through the wl_shm_pool
object, the client can allocate shared memory wl_buffer objects.
All objects created through the same pool share the same
underlying mapped memory. Reusing the mapped memory avoids the
setup/teardown overhead and is useful when interactively resizing
a surface or for many small buffers.

width and height as specified. The stride arguments specifies
the number of bytes from beginning of one row to the beginning
of the next. The format is the pixel format of the buffer and
must be one of those advertised through the wl_shm.format event.
A buffer will keep a reference to the pool it was created from
so it is valid to destroy the pool immediately after creating
a buffer from it.

<description summary="make the surface a fullscreen surface">
Map the surface as a fullscreen surface.
If an output parameter is given then the surface will be made
fullscreen on that output. If the client does not specify the
output then the compositor will apply its policy - usually
choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface
area.
The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict
between the output size and the surface size - this is provided
through the method parameter.
The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set
to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. A value of 0
indicates that the app does not care about framerate. The
framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of
the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of
the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so
that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can
fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however
any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into
an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same
size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a
surface larger than the output). In this case it is allowed to
downscale the results to fit the screen.
The compositor must reply to this request with a configure event
with the dimensions for the output on which the surface will
be made fullscreen.

<description summary="set the surface contents">
Set a buffer as the content of this surface.
The new size of the surface is calculated based on the buffer
size transformed by the inverse buffer_transform and the
inverse buffer_scale. This means that the supplied buffer
must be an integer multiple of the buffer_scale.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the new pending
buffer's upper left corner, relative to the current buffer's upper
left corner, in surface local coordinates. In other words, the
x and y, combined with the new surface size define in which
directions the surface's size changes.
Surface contents are double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
The initial surface contents are void; there is no content.
wl_surface.attach assigns the given wl_buffer as the pending
wl_buffer. wl_surface.commit makes the pending wl_buffer the new
surface contents, and the size of the surface becomes the size
calculated from the wl_buffer, as described above. After commit,
there is no pending buffer until the next attach.
Committing a pending wl_buffer allows the compositor to read the
pixels in the wl_buffer. The compositor may access the pixels at
any time after the wl_surface.commit request. When the compositor
will not access the pixels anymore, it will send the
wl_buffer.release event. Only after receiving wl_buffer.release,
the client may re-use the wl_buffer. A wl_buffer that has been
attached and then replaced by another attach instead of committed
will not receive a release event, and is not used by the
compositor.
Destroying the wl_buffer after wl_buffer.release does not change
the surface contents. However, if the client destroys the
wl_buffer before receiving the wl_buffer.release event, the surface
contents become undefined immediately.
If wl_surface.attach is sent with a NULL wl_buffer, the
following wl_surface.commit will remove the surface content.

A server should avoid signalling the frame callbacks if the

A client can request a frame callback even without an attach,
damage, or any other state changes. wl_surface.commit triggers a

<description summary="set opaque region">
This request sets the region of the surface that contains
opaque content.
The opaque region is an optimization hint for the compositor
that lets it optimize out redrawing of content behind opaque
regions. Setting an opaque region is not required for correct
behaviour, but marking transparent content as opaque will result
in repaint artifacts.
The opaque region is specified in surface local coordinates.
The compositor ignores the parts of the opaque region that fall
outside of the surface.
Opaque region is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
wl_surface.set_opaque_region changes the pending opaque region.
wl_surface.commit copies the pending region to the current region.
Otherwise, the pending and current regions are never changed.
The initial value for opaque region is empty. Setting the pending
opaque region has copy semantics, and the wl_region object can be
destroyed immediately. A NULL wl_region causes the pending opaque
region to be set to empty.

<description summary="commit pending surface state">
Surface state (input, opaque, and damage regions, attached buffers,

state, as opposed to current state in use by the compositor. Commit
request atomically applies all pending state, replacing the current
state. After commit, the new pending state is as documented for each
related request.
On commit, a pending wl_buffer is applied first, all other state
second. This means that all coordinates in double-buffered state are
relative to the new wl_buffer coming into use, except for
wl_surface.attach itself. If there is no pending wl_buffer, the
coordinates are relative to the current surface contents.
All requests that need a commit to become effective are documented
to affect double-buffered state.

This request sets an optional transformation on how the compositor

accepted values for the transform parameter are the values for

Buffer transform is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
A newly created surface has its buffer transformation set to normal.
The purpose of this request is to allow clients to render content
according to the output transform, thus permiting the compositor to
use certain optimizations even if the display is rotated. Using
hardware overlays and scanning out a client buffer for fullscreen
surfaces are examples of such optimizations. Those optimizations are
highly dependent on the compositor implementation, so the use of this
request should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Note that if the transform value includes 90 or 270 degree rotation,
the width of the buffer will become the surface height and the height
of the buffer will become the surface width.

The purpose of this request is to allow clients to supply higher

intended that you pick the same buffer scale as the scale of the
output that the surface is displayed on.This means the compositor
can avoid scaling when rendering the surface on that output.

The global interface exposing sub-surface compositing capabilities.
A wl_surface, that has sub-surfaces associated, is called the
parent surface. Sub-surfaces can be arbitrarily nested and create
a tree of sub-surfaces.
The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main
surface. The main surface cannot be a sub-surface, because
sub-surfaces must always have a parent.
A main surface with its sub-surfaces forms a (compound) window.
For window management purposes, this set of wl_surface objects is
to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as
such.
The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work
within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is
a video player with decorations and video in separate wl_surface
objects. This should allow the compositor to pass YUV video buffer
processing to dedicated overlay hardware when possible.

<description summary="sub-surface interface to a wl_surface">
An additional interface to a wl_surface object, which has been
made a sub-surface. A sub-surface has one parent surface. A
sub-surface's size and position are not limited to that of the parent.
Particularly, a sub-surface is not automatically clipped to its
parent's area.
A sub-surface becomes mapped, when a non-NULL wl_buffer is applied
and the parent surface is mapped. The order of which one happens
first is irrelevant. A sub-surface is hidden if the parent becomes
hidden, or if a NULL wl_buffer is applied. These rules apply
recursively through the tree of surfaces.
The behaviour of wl_surface.commit request on a sub-surface
depends on the sub-surface's mode. The possible modes are
synchronized and desynchronized, see methods
wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync. Synchronized
mode caches the wl_surface state to be applied when the parent's
state gets applied, and desynchronized mode applies the pending
wl_surface state directly. A sub-surface is initially in the
synchronized mode.
Sub-surfaces have also other kind of state, which is managed by
wl_subsurface requests, as opposed to wl_surface requests. This
state includes the sub-surface position relative to the parent
surface (wl_subsurface.set_position), and the stacking order of
the parent and its sub-surfaces (wl_subsurface.place_above and
.place_below). This state is applied when the parent surface's
wl_surface state is applied, regardless of the sub-surface's mode.
As the exception, set_sync and set_desync are effective immediately.
The main surface can be thought to be always in desynchronized mode,
since it does not have a parent in the sub-surfaces sense.
Even if a sub-surface is in desynchronized mode, it will behave as
in synchronized mode, if its parent surface behaves as in
synchronized mode. This rule is applied recursively throughout the
tree of surfaces. This means, that one can set a sub-surface into
synchronized mode, and then assume that all its child and grand-child
sub-surfaces are synchronized, too, without explicitly setting them.
If the wl_surface associated with the wl_subsurface is destroyed, the
wl_subsurface object becomes inert. Note, that destroying either object
takes effect immediately. If you need to synchronize the removal
of a sub-surface to the parent surface update, unmap the sub-surface
first by attaching a NULL wl_buffer, update parent, and then destroy
the sub-surface.
If the parent wl_surface object is destroyed, the sub-surface is
unmapped.

<request name="destroy" type="destructor">
<description summary="remove sub-surface interface">
The sub-surface interface is removed from the wl_surface object
that was turned into a sub-surface with
wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface request. The wl_surface's association
to the parent is deleted, and the wl_surface loses its role as
a sub-surface. The wl_surface is unmapped.

<description summary="reposition the sub-surface">
This schedules a sub-surface position change.
The sub-surface will be moved so, that its origin (top-left
corner pixel) will be at the location x, y of the parent surface
coordinate system. The coordinates are not restricted to the parent
surface area. Negative values are allowed.
The next wl_surface.commit on the parent surface will reset
the sub-surface's position to the scheduled coordinates.
If more than one set_position request is invoked by the client before
the commit of the parent surface, the position of a new request always
replaces the scheduled position from any previous request.
The initial position is 0, 0.

<description summary="restack the sub-surface">
This sub-surface is taken from the stack, and put back just
above the reference surface, changing the z-order of the sub-surfaces.
The reference surface must be one of the sibling surfaces, or the
parent surface. Using any other surface, including this sub-surface,
will cause a protocol error.
The z-order is double-buffered. Requests are handled in order and
applied immediately to a pending state, then committed to the active
state on the next commit of the parent surface.
See wl_surface.commit and wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface.
A new sub-surface is initially added as the top-most in the stack
of its siblings and parent.

<request name="set_sync">
<description summary="set sub-surface to synchronized mode">
Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to synchronized
mode, also described as the parent dependant mode.
In synchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
accumulate the committed state in a cache, but the state will
not be applied and hence will not change the compositor output.
The cached state is applied to the sub-surface immediately after
the parent surface's state is applied. This ensures atomic
updates of the parent and all its synchronized sub-surfaces.
Applying the cached state will invalidate the cache, so further
parent surface commits do not (re-)apply old state.
See wl_subsurface for the recursive effect of this mode.

</request>
<request name="set_desync">
<description summary="set sub-surface to desynchronized mode">
Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to desynchronized
mode, also described as independent or freely running mode.
In desynchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
apply the pending state directly, without caching, as happens
normally with a wl_surface. Calling wl_surface.commit on the
parent surface has no effect on the sub-surface's wl_surface
state. This mode allows a sub-surface to be updated on its own.
If cached state exists when wl_surface.commit is called in
desynchronized mode, the pending state is added to the cached
state, and applied as whole. This invalidates the cache.
Note: even if a sub-surface is set to desynchronized, a parent
sub-surface may override it to behave as synchronized. For details,
see wl_subsurface.
If a surface's parent surface behaves as desynchronized, then
the cached state is applied on set_desync.
