<title>Wayland Library</title>
<para>
The open-source reference implementation of Wayland protocol is split in two
C libraries, <link linkend="sect-Library-Server">libwayland-server</link> and
<link linkend="sect-Library-Client">libwayland-client</link>. Their main
responsibility is to handle the Inter-process communication
(<emphasis>IPC</emphasis>) with each other, therefore guaranteeing the
protocol objects marshaling and messages synchronization.
</para>
<para>
This Chapter describes in detail each library's methods and their helpers,
aiming implementors who can use for building Wayland clients and servers;
respectively at <xref linkend="sect-Library-Client"/> and
<xref linkend="sect-Library-Server"/>.
