<description summary="global registry object">
The 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.

The size is a hint, in the sense that the client is free to
ignore it if it doesn't resize, pick a smaller size (to
satisfy aspect ratio or resize in steps of NxM pixels).
The edges parameter provides a hint about how the surface
was resized. The client may use this information to decide
how to adjust its content to the new size (e.g. a scrolling
area might adjust its content position to leave the viewable
content unmoved).
The client is free to dismiss all but the last configure

<description summary="set the surface contents">
Set a buffer as the content of this surface.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the new pending
buffer's upper left corner, relative to the current buffer's
upper left corner. In other words, the x and y, and the width
and height of the wl_buffer together define in which directions
the surface's size changes.
Surface contents are double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
The initial surface contents are void; there is no content.
wl_surface.attach assigns the given wl_buffer as the pending
wl_buffer. wl_surface.commit makes the pending wl_buffer the new
surface contents, and the size of the surface becomes the size of
the wl_buffer, as described above. After commit, there is no
pending buffer until the next attach.
Committing a pending wl_buffer allows the compositor to read the
pixels in the wl_buffer. The compositor may access the pixels at
any time after the wl_surface.commit request. When the compositor
will not access the pixels anymore, it will send the
wl_buffer.release event. Only after receiving wl_buffer.release,
the client may re-use the wl_buffer. A wl_buffer that has been
attached and then replaced by another attach instead of committed
will not receive a release event, and is not used by the
compositor.
Destroying the wl_buffer after wl_buffer.release does not change
the surface contents. However, if the client destroys the
wl_buffer before receiving wl_buffer.release, the surface
contents become undefined immediately.
Only if wl_surface.attach is sent with a NULL wl_buffer, the
following wl_surface.commit will remove the surface content.

compositor ignores the parts of the damage that fall outside of
the surface.
Damage is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
The initial value for pending damage is empty: no damage.
wl_surface.damage adds pending damage: the new pending damage
is the union of old pending damage and the given rectangle.
wl_surface.commit assigns pending damage as the current damage,

A server should avoid signalling the frame callbacks if the

A client can request a frame callback even without an attach,

This request sets the region of the surface that contains

The opaque region is an optimization hint for the compositor

regions. Setting an opaque region is not required for correct
behaviour, but marking transparent content as opaque will result
in repaint artifacts.
The compositor ignores the parts of the opaque region that fall
outside of the surface.
Opaque region is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
wl_surface.set_opaque_region changes the pending opaque region.
wl_surface.commit copies the pending region to the current region.
Otherwise, the pending and current regions are never changed.
The initial value for opaque region is empty. Setting the pending
opaque region has copy semantics, and the wl_region object can be

<description summary="commit pending surface state">
Surface state (input, opaque, and damage regions, attached buffers,

state, as opposed to current state in use by the compositor. Commit
request atomically applies all pending state, replacing the current
state. After commit, the new pending state is as documented for each
related request.
On commit, a pending wl_buffer is applied first, all other state
second. This means that all coordinates in double-buffered state are
relative to the new wl_buffer coming into use, except for
wl_surface.attach itself. If there is no pending wl_buffer, the
coordinates are relative to the current surface contents.
All requests that need a commit to become effective are documented
to affect double-buffered state.
Other interfaces may add further double-buffered surface state.

This request sets an optional transformation on how the compositor

wl_output.transform.
Buffer transform is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
A newly created surface has its buffer transformation set to normal.
The purpose of this request is to allow clients to render content
according to the output transform, thus permiting the compositor to
use certain optimizations even if the display is rotated. Using
hardware overlays and scanning out a client buffer for fullscreen
surfaces are examples of such optmizations. Those optimizations are
highly dependent on the compositor implementation, so the use of this
request should be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Note that if the transform value includes 90 or 270 degree rotation,
the width of the buffer will become the surface height and the height
of the buffer will become the surface width.

there was a previous surface set with this request it is

The parameters hotspot_x and hotspot_y define the position of
the pointer surface relative to the pointer location. Its
top-left corner is always at (x, y) - (hotspot_x, hotspot_y),
where (x, y) are the coordinates of the pointer location.
On surface.attach requests to the pointer surface, hotspot_x

passed to the request. Attach must be confirmed by
wl_surface.commit as usual.
The hotspot can also be updated by passing the currently set
pointer surface to this request with new values for hotspot_x

The current and pending input regions of the wl_surface are
cleared, and wl_surface.set_input_region is ignored until the
wl_surface is no longer used as the cursor. When the use as a
cursor ends, the current and pending input regions become
