<p>
Devices are the abstraction Cairo employs for the rendering system
used by a <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#cairo-surface-t" title="cairo_surface_t"><span class="type">cairo_surface_t</span></a>. You can get the device of a surface using
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#cairo-surface-get-device" title="cairo_surface_get_device ()"><code class="function">cairo_surface_get_device()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Devices are created using custom functions specific to the rendering
system you want to use. See the documentation for the surface types
for those functions.
</p>
<p>
An important function that devices fulfill is sharing access to the
rendering system between Cairo and your application. If you want to
access a device directly that you used to draw to with Cairo, you must
first call <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-device-t.html#cairo-device-flush" title="cairo_device_flush ()"><code class="function">cairo_device_flush()</code></a> to ensure that Cairo finishes all
operations on the device and resets it to a clean state.
</p>
<p>
Cairo also provides the functions <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-device-t.html#cairo-device-acquire" title="cairo_device_acquire ()"><code class="function">cairo_device_acquire()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-device-t.html#cairo-device-release" title="cairo_device_release ()"><code class="function">cairo_device_release()</code></a> to synchronize access to the rendering system
in a multithreaded environment. This is done internally, but can also
be used by applications.
</p>
<p>
Putting this all together, a function that works with devices should
look something like this:
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
void
my_device_modifying_function (cairo_device_t *device)
{
cairo_status_t status;
// Ensure the device is properly reset
cairo_device_flush (device);
// Try to acquire the device
status = cairo_device_acquire (device);
if (status != CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS) {
printf ("Failed to acquire the device: %s\n", cairo_status_to_string (status));
return;
}
// Do the custom operations on the device here.
// But do not call any Cairo functions that might acquire devices.
// Release the device when done.
cairo_device_release (device);
}
</pre></div>

<div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>Please refer to the documentation of each backend for
additional usage requirements, guarantees provided, and
interactions with existing surface API of the device functions for
surfaces of that type.

A <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-device-t.html#cairo-device-t" title="cairo_device_t"><span class="type">cairo_device_t</span></a> represents the driver interface for drawing
operations to a <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#cairo-surface-t" title="cairo_surface_t"><span class="type">cairo_surface_t</span></a>. There are different subtypes of
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-device-t.html#cairo-device-t" title="cairo_device_t"><span class="type">cairo_device_t</span></a> for different drawing backends; for example,
<code class="function">cairo_xcb_device_create()</code> creates a device that wraps the connection
to an X Windows System using the XCB library.
</p>
<p>
The type of a device can be queried with <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-device-t.html#cairo-device-get-type" title="cairo_device_get_type ()"><code class="function">cairo_device_get_type()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
