Detailed Description

Protocol object interface

A wl_interface describes the API of a protocol object defined in the Wayland protocol specification. The protocol implementation uses a wl_interface within its marshalling machinery for encoding client requests.

The name of a wl_interface is the name of the corresponding protocol interface, and version represents the version of the interface. The members method_count and event_count represent the number of methods (requests) and events in the respective wl_message members.

For example, consider a protocol interface foo, marked as version 1, with two requests and one event.

* <interface name="foo" version="1">
*   <request name="a"></request>
*   <request name="b"></request>
*   <event name="c"></event>
* </interface>
*

Given two wl_message arrays foo_requests and foo_events, a wl_interface for foo might be:

* struct wl_interface foo_interface = {
*         "foo", 1,
*         2, foo_requests,
*         1, foo_events
* };
*

Note:

The server side of the protocol may define interface implementation types that incorporate the term interface in their name. Take care to not confuse these server-side structs with a wl_interface variable whose name also ends in interface. For example, while the server may define a type struct wl_foo_interface, the client may define a struct wl_interface wl_foo_interface.
