displays a single surface per output

Displays a single surface per output.

This interface provides a mechanism for a single client to display simple full-screen surfaces. While there technically may be multiple clients bound to this interface, only one of those clients should be shown at a time.

To present a surface, the client uses either the present_surface or present_surface_for_mode requests. Presenting a surface takes effect on the next wl_surface.commit. See the individual requests for details about scaling and mode switches.

The client can have at most one surface per output at any time. Requesting a surface to be presented on an output that already has a surface replaces the previously presented surface. Presenting a null surface removes its content and effectively disables the output. Exactly what happens when an output is “disabled” is compositor-specific. The same surface may be presented on multiple outputs simultaneously.

Once a surface is presented on an output, it stays on that output until either the client removes it or the compositor destroys the output. This way, the client can update the output’s contents by simply attaching a new buffer.

Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version. Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the ‘z’ prefix and the version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the interface version number is reset.
