The core global object. This is a special singleton object. It
is used for internal Wayland protocol features.
</description>
<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.
The callback_data passed in the callback is the event serial.

<description summary="fatal error event">
The error event is sent out when a fatal (non-recoverable)
error has occurred. The object_id argument is the object
where the error occurred, most often in response to a request
to that object. The code identifies the error and is defined
by the object interface. As such, each interface defines its
own set of error codes. The message is a brief description
of the error, for (debugging) convenience.

<interface name="wl_registry" version="1">
<description summary="global registry object">
The singleton 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.

Notify the client of removed global objects.
This event notifies the client that the global identified
by name is no longer available. If the client bound to
the global using the bind request, the client should now
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.

<description summary="a shared memory pool">
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.

<description summary="create a buffer from the pool">
Create a wl_buffer object from the pool.
The buffer is created offset bytes into the pool and has
width and height as specified. The stride argument specifies
the number of bytes from the 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.

This request can be called multiple times throughout the

This request determines the final result of the drag-and-drop

Compositors may also change the selected action on the fly, mainly
in response to keyboard modifier changes during the drag-and-drop
operation.
The most recent action received is always the valid one. Prior to
receiving wl_data_device.drop, the chosen action may change (e.g.
due to keyboard modifiers being pressed). At the time of receiving
wl_data_device.drop the drag-and-drop destination must honor the
last action received.
Action changes may still happen after wl_data_device.drop,
especially on "ask" actions, where the drag-and-drop destination
may choose another action afterwards. Action changes happening
at this stage are always the result of inter-client negotiation, the
compositor shall no longer be able to induce a different action.
Upon "ask" actions, it is expected that the drag-and-drop destination
may potentially choose a different action and/or mime type,
based on wl_data_offer.source_actions and finally chosen by the
user (e.g. popping up a menu with the available options). The

event will happen immediately before wl_data_source.dnd_finished.
Compositors may also change the selected action on the fly, mainly
in response to keyboard modifier changes during the drag-and-drop
operation.
The most recent action received is always the valid one. The chosen
action may change alongside negotiation (e.g. an "ask" action can turn
into a "move" operation), so the effects of the final action must
always be applied in wl_data_offer.dnd_finished.
Clients can trigger cursor surface changes from this point, so
they reflect the current action.

<request name="start_drag">
<description summary="start drag-and-drop operation">
This request asks the compositor to start a drag-and-drop
operation on behalf of the client.
The source argument is the data source that provides the data
for the eventual data transfer. If source is NULL, enter, leave
and motion events are sent only to the client that initiated the
drag and the client is expected to handle the data passing
internally.
The origin surface is the surface where the drag originates and
the client must have an active implicit grab that matches the
serial.
The icon surface is an optional (can be NULL) surface that
provides an icon to be moved around with the cursor. Initially,
the top-left corner of the icon surface is placed at the cursor
hotspot, but subsequent wl_surface.attach request can move the
relative position. Attach requests must be confirmed with
wl_surface.commit as usual. The icon surface is given the role of
a drag-and-drop icon. If the icon surface already has another role,
it raises a protocol error.
The current and pending input regions of the icon wl_surface are
cleared, and wl_surface.set_input_region is ignored until the
wl_surface is no longer used as the icon surface. When the use
as an icon ends, the current and pending input regions become
undefined, and the wl_surface is unmapped.

"copy" or "move", the destination can still perform
wl_data_offer.receive requests, and is expected to end all
transfers with a wl_data_offer.finish request.
If the resulting action is "ask", the action will not be considered
final. The drag-and-drop destination is expected to perform one last
wl_data_offer.set_actions request, or wl_data_offer.destroy in order
to cancel the operation.

<enum name="dnd_action" bitfield="true" since="3">
<description summary="drag and drop actions">
This is a bitmask of the available/preferred actions in a
drag-and-drop operation.
In the compositor, the selected action is a result of matching the
actions offered by the source and destination sides. "action" events
with a "none" action will be sent to both source and destination if
there is no match. All further checks will effectively happen on
(source actions ∩ destination actions).
In addition, compositors may also pick different actions in
reaction to key modifiers being pressed. One common design that
is used in major toolkits (and the behavior recommended for
compositors) is:
- If no modifiers are pressed, the first match (in bit order)
will be used.
- Pressing Shift selects "move", if enabled in the mask.
- Pressing Control selects "copy", if enabled in the mask.
Behavior beyond that is considered implementation-dependent.
Compositors may for example bind other modifiers (like Alt/Meta)
or drags initiated with other buttons than BTN_LEFT to specific
actions (e.g. "ask").
