<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 provides
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 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.

Set the contents of a buffer into this surface. The x and y

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. 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 nil wl_buffer, the

A server should avoid signalling the frame callbacks if the
surface is not visible in any way, e.g. the surface is off-screen,
or completely obscured by other opaque surfaces.
A client can request a frame callback even without an attach,
damage, or any other state changes. wl_surface.commit triggers a
display update, so the callback event will arrive after the next
output refresh where the surface is visible.

<request name="set_opaque_region">
<description summary="set opaque region">
This request sets the region of the surface that contains
opaque content. The opaque region is an optimization hint for
the compositor that lets it optimize out redrawing of content
behind opaque 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
destroyed immediately. A nil wl_region causes the pending opaque
region to be set to empty.

<description summary="set input region">
This request sets the region of the surface that can receive
pointer and touch events. Input events happening outside of
this region will try the next surface in the server surface
stack. The compositor ignores the parts of the input region that
fall outside of the surface.
Input region is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
wl_surface.set_input_region changes the pending input region.
wl_surface.commit copies the pending region to the current region.
Otherwise the pending and current regions are never changed,
except cursor and icon surfaces are special cases, see
wl_pointer.set_cursor and wl_data_device.start_drag.
The initial value for input region is infinite. That means the whole
surface will accept input. Setting the pending input region has copy
semantics, and the wl_region object can be destroyed immediately. A
nil wl_region causes the input region to be set to infinite.

<request name="commit">
<description summary="commit pending surface state">
Surface state (input, opaque, and damage regions, attached buffers,
etc.) is double-buffered. Protocol requests modify the pending
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.

Set the pointer surface, i.e., the surface that contains the

focus for this device is one of the requesting client's surfaces
or the surface parameter is the current pointer surface. If
there was a previous surface set with this request it is
replaced. If surface is NULL, the pointer image is hidden.
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
and hotspot_y are decremented by the x and y parameters
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
and hotspot_y.
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
undefined, and the wl_surface is unmapped.
