/**
* 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.
*
* \code
* <interface name="foo" version="1">
* <request name="a"></request>
* <request name="b"></request>
* <event name="c"></event>
* </interface>
* \endcode
*
* Given two wl_message arrays `foo_requests` and `foo_events`, a wl_interface
* for `foo` might be:
*
* \code
* struct wl_interface foo_interface = {
* "foo", 1,
* 2, foo_requests,
* 1, foo_events
* };
* \endcode
*
* \note The server side of the protocol may define interface <em>implementation
* types</em> that incorporate the term `interface` in their name. Take
* care to not confuse these server-side `struct`s 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`.
