<request name="sync">
<description summary="asynchronous roundtrip">
The sync request asks the server to emit the 'done' event
on the returned wl_callback object. Since requests are
handled in-order and events are delivered in-order, this can
be used as a barrier to ensure all previous requests and the
resulting events have been handled.
The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not
attempt to use it after that point.
The callback_data passed in the callback is undefined and should be ignored.

This request creates a registry object that allows the client
to list and bind the global objects available from the
compositor.
It should be noted that the server side resources consumed in
response to a get_registry request can only be released when the
client disconnects, not when the client side proxy is destroyed.
Therefore, clients should invoke get_registry as infrequently as
possible to avoid wasting memory.

where the error occurred, most often in response to a request
to that object. The code identifies the error and is defined
by the object interface. As such, each interface defines its
own set of error codes. The message is a brief description
of the error, for (debugging) convenience.

<interface name="wl_registry" version="1">
<description summary="global registry object">
The singleton 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.

This event notifies the client that the global identified
by name is no longer available. If the client bound to
the global using the bind request, the client should now
destroy that object.
The object remains valid and requests to the object will be
ignored until the client destroys it, to avoid races between
the global going away and a client sending a request to it.

The wl_shm_pool object encapsulates a piece of memory shared
between the compositor and client. Through the wl_shm_pool
object, the client can allocate shared memory wl_buffer objects.
All objects created through the same pool share the same
underlying mapped memory. Reusing the mapped memory avoids the
setup/teardown overhead and is useful when interactively resizing
a surface or for many small buffers.
</description>
<request name="create_buffer">
<description summary="create a buffer from the pool">
Create a wl_buffer object from the pool.
The buffer is created offset bytes into the pool and has
width and height as specified. The stride argument specifies
the number of bytes from the beginning of one row to the beginning
of the next. The format is the pixel format of the buffer and
must be one of those advertised through the wl_shm.format event.
A buffer will keep a reference to the pool it was created from
so it is valid to destroy the pool immediately after creating
a buffer from it.

This describes the memory layout of an individual pixel.
All renderers should support argb8888 and xrgb8888 but any other
formats are optional and may not be supported by the particular
renderer in use.
The drm format codes match the macros defined in drm_fourcc.h, except
argb8888 and xrgb8888. The formats actually supported by the compositor
will be reported by the format event.
For all wl_shm formats and unless specified in another protocol
extension, pre-multiplied alpha is used for pixel values.

<description summary="content for a wl_surface">
A buffer provides the content for a wl_surface. Buffers are
created through factory interfaces such as wl_shm, wp_linux_buffer_params
(from the linux-dmabuf protocol extension) or similar. It has a width and
a height and can be attached to a wl_surface, but the mechanism by which a
client provides and updates the contents is defined by the buffer factory
interface.
Color channels are assumed to be electrical rather than optical (in other
words, encoded with a transfer function) unless otherwise specified. If
the buffer uses a format that has an alpha channel, the alpha channel is
assumed to be premultiplied into the electrical color channel values
(after transfer function encoding) unless otherwise specified.
Note, because wl_buffer objects are created from multiple independent
factory interfaces, the wl_buffer interface is frozen at version 1.

The client is now free to reuse or destroy this buffer and its

If a client receives a release event before the frame callback
requested in the same wl_surface.commit that attaches this
wl_buffer to a surface, then the client is immediately free to
reuse the buffer and its backing storage, and does not need a
second buffer for the next surface content update. Typically
this is possible, when the compositor maintains a copy of the
wl_surface contents, e.g. as a GL texture. This is an important
optimization for GL(ES) compositors with wl_shm clients.

For objects of version 2 or older, this request is used by the
client to give feedback whether the client can receive the given
mime type, or NULL if none is accepted; the feedback does not
determine whether the drag-and-drop operation succeeds or not.
For objects of version 3 or newer, this request determines the
final result of the drag-and-drop operation. If the end result
is that no mime types were accepted, the drag-and-drop operation
will be cancelled and the corresponding drag source will receive
wl_data_source.cancelled. Clients may still use this event in
conjunction with wl_data_source.action for feedback.

<description summary="request that the data is transferred">
To transfer the offered data, the client issues this request
and indicates the mime type it wants to receive. The transfer
happens through the passed file descriptor (typically created
with the pipe system call). The source client writes the data
in the mime type representation requested and then closes the
file descriptor.
The receiving client reads from the read end of the pipe until
EOF and then closes its end, at which point the transfer is
complete.
This request may happen multiple times for different mime types,
both before and after wl_data_device.drop. Drag-and-drop destination
clients may preemptively fetch data or examine it more closely to
determine acceptance.

Behavior beyond that is considered implementation-dependent.

<description summary="make the surface a fullscreen surface">
Map the surface as a fullscreen surface.
If an output parameter is given then the surface will be made
fullscreen on that output. If the client does not specify the
output then the compositor will apply its policy - usually
choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface
area.
The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict
between the output size and the surface size - this is provided
through the method parameter.
The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set
to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. A value of 0
indicates that the client does not care about framerate. The
framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of
the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of
the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so
that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can
fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however
any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into
an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same
size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a
surface larger than the output). In this case it is allowed to
downscale the results to fit the screen.
The compositor must reply to this request with a configure event
with the dimensions for the output on which the surface will
be made fullscreen.

A popup surface is a transient surface with an added pointer
grab.
An existing implicit grab will be changed to owner-events mode,
and the popup grab will continue after the implicit grab ends
(i.e. releasing the mouse button does not cause the popup to
be unmapped).
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a
mouse button is pressed in any other client's window. A click
in any of the client's surfaces is reported as normal, however,
clicks in other clients' surfaces will be discarded and trigger
the callback.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the upper left
corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the
parent surface, in surface-local coordinates.

<interface name="wl_surface" version="6">
<description summary="an onscreen surface">
A surface is a rectangular area that may be displayed on zero
or more outputs, and shown any number of times at the compositor's
discretion. They can present wl_buffers, receive user input, and
define a local coordinate system.
The size of a surface (and relative positions on it) is described
in surface-local coordinates, which may differ from the buffer
coordinates of the pixel content, in case a buffer_transform
or a buffer_scale is used.
A surface without a "role" is fairly useless: a compositor does
not know where, when or how to present it. The role is the
purpose of a wl_surface. Examples of roles are a cursor for a
pointer (as set by wl_pointer.set_cursor), a drag icon
(wl_data_device.start_drag), a sub-surface
(wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface), and a window as defined by a
shell protocol (e.g. wl_shell.get_shell_surface).
A surface can have only one role at a time. Initially a
wl_surface does not have a role. Once a wl_surface is given a
role, it is set permanently for the whole lifetime of the
wl_surface object. Giving the current role again is allowed,
unless explicitly forbidden by the relevant interface
specification.
Surface roles are given by requests in other interfaces such as
wl_pointer.set_cursor. The request should explicitly mention
that this request gives a role to a wl_surface. Often, this
request also creates a new protocol object that represents the
role and adds additional functionality to wl_surface. When a
client wants to destroy a wl_surface, they must destroy this role
object before the wl_surface, otherwise a defunct_role_object error is
sent.
Destroying the role object does not remove the role from the
wl_surface, but it may stop the wl_surface from "playing the role".
For instance, if a wl_subsurface object is destroyed, the wl_surface
it was created for will be unmapped and forget its position and
z-order. It is allowed to create a wl_subsurface for the same
wl_surface again, but it is not allowed to use the wl_surface as
a cursor (cursor is a different role than sub-surface, and role
switching is not allowed).

<description summary="set the surface contents">
Set a buffer as the content of this surface.
The new size of the surface is calculated based on the buffer
size transformed by the inverse buffer_transform and the
inverse buffer_scale. This means that at commit time the supplied
buffer size must be an integer multiple of the buffer_scale. If
that's not the case, an invalid_size error is sent.
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 surface-local coordinates. In other words, the
x and y, combined with the new surface size define in which
directions the surface's size changes. Setting anything other than 0
as x and y arguments is discouraged, and should instead be replaced
with using the separate wl_surface.offset request.
When the bound wl_surface version is 5 or higher, passing any
non-zero x or y is a protocol violation, and will result in an
'invalid_offset' error being raised. The x and y arguments are ignored
and do not change the pending state. To achieve equivalent semantics,
use wl_surface.offset.
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
calculated from 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 reuse 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.
If a pending wl_buffer has been committed to more than one wl_surface,
the delivery of wl_buffer.release events becomes undefined. A well
behaved client should not rely on wl_buffer.release events in this
case. Alternatively, a client could create multiple wl_buffer objects
from the same backing storage or use wp_linux_buffer_release.
Destroying the wl_buffer after wl_buffer.release does not change
the surface contents. Destroying the wl_buffer before wl_buffer.release
is allowed as long as the underlying buffer storage isn't re-used (this
can happen e.g. on client process termination). However, if the client
destroys the wl_buffer before receiving the wl_buffer.release event and
mutates the underlying buffer storage, the surface contents become
undefined immediately.
If wl_surface.attach is sent with a NULL wl_buffer, the
following wl_surface.commit will remove the surface content.
If a pending wl_buffer has been destroyed, the result is not specified.
Many compositors are known to remove the surface content on the following
wl_surface.commit, but this behaviour is not universal. Clients seeking to
maximise compatibility should not destroy pending buffers and should
ensure that they explicitly remove content from surfaces, even after
destroying buffers.

Request a notification when it is a good time to start drawing a new
frame, by creating a frame callback. This is useful for throttling
redrawing operations, and driving animations.
When a client is animating on a wl_surface, it can use the 'frame'
request to get notified when it is a good time to draw and commit the
next frame of animation. If the client commits an update earlier than
that, it is likely that some updates will not make it to the display,
and the client is wasting resources by drawing too often.
The frame request will take effect on the next wl_surface.commit.
The notification will only be posted for one frame unless
requested again. For a wl_surface, the notifications are posted in
the order the frame requests were committed.
The server must send the notifications so that a client
will not send excessive updates, while still allowing
the highest possible update rate for clients that wait for the reply
before drawing again. The server should give some time for the client
to draw and commit after sending the frame callback events to let it
hit the next output refresh.
A server should avoid signaling 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.
The object returned by this request will be destroyed by the
compositor after the callback is fired and as such the client must not
attempt to use it after that point.

Surface state (input, opaque, and damage regions, attached buffers,

A commit request atomically creates a content update from the pending
state, even if the pending state has not been touched. The content
update is placed in a queue until it becomes active. After commit, the
new pending state is as documented for each related request.
When the content update is applied, the wl_buffer is applied before all
other state. This means that all coordinates in double-buffered state
are relative to the newly attached wl_buffers, except for
wl_surface.attach itself. If there is no newly attached wl_buffer, the
coordinates are relative to the previous content update.

<description summary="sets the buffer transformation">
This request sets the transformation that the client has already applied
to the content of the buffer. The accepted values for the transform
parameter are the values for wl_output.transform.
The compositor applies the inverse of this transformation whenever it
uses the buffer contents.
Buffer transform is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
A newly created surface has its buffer transformation set to normal.
wl_surface.set_buffer_transform changes the pending buffer
transformation. wl_surface.commit copies the pending buffer
transformation to the current one. Otherwise, the pending and current

The purpose of this request is to allow clients to render content
according to the output transform, thus permitting 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 optimizations. 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

The purpose of this request is to allow clients to supply higher

coordinates, it is especially desirable when using wp_viewport

Note: Because buffer transformation changes and damage requests may
be interleaved in the protocol stream, it is impossible to determine
the actual mapping between surface and buffer damage until

<event name="frame" since="5">
<description summary="end of a pointer event sequence">
Indicates the end of a set of events that logically belong together.
A client is expected to accumulate the data in all events within the
frame before proceeding.
All wl_pointer events before a wl_pointer.frame event belong
logically together. For example, in a diagonal scroll motion the
compositor will send an optional wl_pointer.axis_source event, two
wl_pointer.axis events (horizontal and vertical) and finally a
wl_pointer.frame event. The client may use this information to
calculate a diagonal vector for scrolling.
When multiple wl_pointer.axis events occur within the same frame,
the motion vector is the combined motion of all events.
When a wl_pointer.axis and a wl_pointer.axis_stop event occur within
the same frame, this indicates that axis movement in one axis has
stopped but continues in the other axis.
When multiple wl_pointer.axis_stop events occur within the same
frame, this indicates that these axes stopped in the same instance.
A wl_pointer.frame event is sent for every logical event group,
even if the group only contains a single wl_pointer event.
Specifically, a client may get a sequence: motion, frame, button,
frame, axis, frame, axis_stop, frame.
The wl_pointer.enter and wl_pointer.leave events are logical events
generated by the compositor and not the hardware. These events are
also grouped by a wl_pointer.frame. When a pointer moves from one
surface to another, a compositor should group the
wl_pointer.leave event within the same wl_pointer.frame.
However, a client must not rely on wl_pointer.leave and
wl_pointer.enter being in the same wl_pointer.frame.
Compositor-specific policies may require the wl_pointer.leave and
wl_pointer.enter event being split across multiple wl_pointer.frame
groups.

kinetic scrolling whereas a "wheel" source may be in discrete steps
of a number of lines.
The "continuous" axis source is a device generating events in a
continuous coordinate space, but using something other than a
finger. One example for this source is button-based scrolling where
the vertical motion of a device is converted to scroll events while
a button is held down.
The "wheel tilt" axis source indicates that the actual device is a
wheel but the scroll event is not caused by a rotation but a
(usually sideways) tilt of the wheel.

The source specifies how this event was generated. If the source is
wl_pointer.axis_source.finger, a wl_pointer.axis_stop event will be

If the source is wl_pointer.axis_source.wheel,
wl_pointer.axis_source.wheel_tilt or
wl_pointer.axis_source.continuous, a wl_pointer.axis_stop event may
or may not be sent. Whether a compositor sends an axis_stop event
for these sources is hardware-specific and implementation-dependent;
clients must not rely on receiving an axis_stop event for these
scroll sources and should treat scroll sequences from these scroll
sources as unterminated by default.
This event is optional. If the source is unknown for a particular
axis event sequence, no event is sent.
Only one wl_pointer.axis_source event is permitted per frame.

This event is deprecated with wl_pointer version 8 - this event is not
sent to clients supporting version 8 or later.
This event does not occur on its own, it is coupled with a
wl_pointer.axis event that represents this axis value on a
continuous scale. The protocol guarantees that each axis_discrete
event is always followed by exactly one axis event with the same
axis number within the same wl_pointer.frame. Note that the protocol
allows for other events to occur between the axis_discrete and
its coupled axis event, including other axis_discrete or axis

event per axis type.
This event is optional; continuous scrolling devices
like two-finger scrolling on touchpads do not have discrete

<description summary="axis relative physical direction event">
Relative directional information of the entity causing the axis
motion.
For a wl_pointer.axis event, the wl_pointer.axis_relative_direction
event specifies the movement direction of the entity causing the
wl_pointer.axis event. For example:
- if a user's fingers on a touchpad move down and this
causes a wl_pointer.axis vertical_scroll down event, the physical
direction is 'identical'
- if a user's fingers on a touchpad move down and this causes a
wl_pointer.axis vertical_scroll up scroll up event ('natural
scrolling'), the physical direction is 'inverted'.
A client may use this information to adjust scroll motion of
components. Specifically, enabling natural scrolling causes the
content to change direction compared to traditional scrolling.
Some widgets like volume control sliders should usually match the
physical direction regardless of whether natural scrolling is
active. This event enables clients to match the scroll direction of
a widget to the physical direction.
This event does not occur on its own, it is coupled with a
wl_pointer.axis event that represents this axis value.
The protocol guarantees that each axis_relative_direction event is

<description summary="properties of the output">
The geometry event describes geometric properties of the output.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and whenever
any of the properties change.
The physical size can be set to zero if it doesn't make sense for this
output (e.g. for projectors or virtual outputs).
The geometry event will be followed by a done event (starting from
version 2).
Clients should use wl_surface.preferred_buffer_transform instead of the
transform advertised by this event to find the preferred buffer
transform to use for a surface.
Note: wl_output only advertises partial information about the output
position and identification. Some compositors, for instance those not
implementing a desktop-style output layout or those exposing virtual
outputs, might fake this information. Instead of using x and y, clients
should use xdg_output.logical_position. Instead of using make and model,
clients should use name and description.

<description summary="advertise available modes for the output">
The mode event describes an available mode for the output.
The event is sent when binding to the output object and there
will always be one mode, the current mode. The event is sent
again if an output changes mode, for the mode that is now
current. In other words, the current mode is always the last
mode that was received with the current flag set.
Non-current modes are deprecated. A compositor can decide to only
advertise the current mode and never send other modes. Clients
should not rely on non-current modes.
The size of a mode is given in physical hardware units of
the output device. This is not necessarily the same as
the output size in the global compositor space. For instance,
the output may be scaled, as described in wl_output.scale,
or transformed, as described in wl_output.transform. Clients
willing to retrieve the output size in the global compositor
space should use xdg_output.logical_size instead.
The vertical refresh rate can be set to zero if it doesn't make
sense for this output (e.g. for virtual outputs).
The mode event will be followed by a done event (starting from
version 2).
Clients should not use the refresh rate to schedule frames. Instead,
they should use the wl_surface.frame event or the presentation-time
protocol.
Note: this information is not always meaningful for all outputs. Some
compositors, such as those exposing virtual outputs, might fake the
refresh rate or the size.

<description summary="sent all information about output">
This event is sent after all other properties have been

This event contains scaling geometry information

binding the output object or if the output scale changes
later. The compositor will emit a non-zero, positive
value for scale. If it is not sent, the client should
assume a scale of 1.
A scale larger than 1 means that the compositor will
automatically scale surface buffers by this amount
when rendering. This is used for very high resolution
displays where applications rendering at the native
resolution would be too small to be legible.
Clients should use wl_surface.preferred_buffer_scale
instead of this event to find the preferred buffer
scale to use for a surface.

Many compositors will assign user-friendly names to their outputs, show
them to the user, allow the user to refer to an output, etc. The client
may wish to know this name as well to offer the user similar behaviors.
The name is a UTF-8 string with no convention defined for its contents.
Each name is unique among all wl_output globals. The name is only
guaranteed to be unique for the compositor instance.
The same output name is used for all clients for a given wl_output
global. Thus, the name can be shared across processes to refer to a
specific wl_output global.
The name is not guaranteed to be persistent across sessions, thus cannot
be used to reliably identify an output in e.g. configuration files.
Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do
not assume that the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM connector,
X11 connection, etc.
The name event is sent after binding the output object. This event is
only sent once per output object, and the name does not change over the
lifetime of the wl_output global.
Compositors may re-use the same output name if the wl_output global is
destroyed and re-created later. Compositors should avoid re-using the

<description summary="sub-surface compositing">
The global interface exposing sub-surface compositing capabilities.
A wl_surface, that has sub-surfaces associated, is called the
parent surface. Sub-surfaces can be arbitrarily nested and create
a tree of sub-surfaces.
The root surface in a tree of sub-surfaces is the main
surface. The main surface cannot be a sub-surface, because
sub-surfaces must always have a parent.
A main surface with its sub-surfaces forms a (compound) window.
For window management purposes, this set of wl_surface objects is
to be considered as a single window, and it should also behave as
such.
The aim of sub-surfaces is to offload some of the compositing work
within a window from clients to the compositor. A prime example is
a video player with decorations and video in separate wl_surface
objects. This should allow the compositor to pass YUV video buffer
processing to dedicated overlay hardware when possible.

<interface name="wl_subsurface" version="1">
<description summary="sub-surface interface to a wl_surface">
An additional interface to a wl_surface object, which has been
made a sub-surface. A sub-surface has one parent surface. A
sub-surface's size and position are not limited to that of the parent.
Particularly, a sub-surface is not automatically clipped to its
parent's area.
A sub-surface becomes mapped, when a non-NULL wl_buffer is applied
and the parent surface is mapped. The order of which one happens
first is irrelevant. A sub-surface is hidden if the parent becomes
hidden, or if a NULL wl_buffer is applied. These rules apply
recursively through the tree of surfaces.
The behaviour of a wl_surface.commit request on a sub-surface
depends on the sub-surface's mode. The possible modes are
synchronized and desynchronized, see methods
wl_subsurface.set_sync and wl_subsurface.set_desync. Synchronized
mode caches the wl_surface state to be applied when the parent's
state gets applied, and desynchronized mode applies the pending
wl_surface state directly. A sub-surface is initially in the
synchronized mode.
Sub-surfaces also have another kind of state, which is managed by
wl_subsurface requests, as opposed to wl_surface requests. This
state includes the sub-surface position relative to the parent
surface (wl_subsurface.set_position), and the stacking order of
the parent and its sub-surfaces (wl_subsurface.place_above and
.place_below). This state is applied when the parent surface's
wl_surface state is applied, regardless of the sub-surface's mode.
As the exception, set_sync and set_desync are effective immediately.
The main surface can be thought to be always in desynchronized mode,
since it does not have a parent in the sub-surfaces sense.
Even if a sub-surface is in desynchronized mode, it will behave as
in synchronized mode, if its parent surface behaves as in
synchronized mode. This rule is applied recursively throughout the
tree of surfaces. This means, that one can set a sub-surface into
synchronized mode, and then assume that all its child and grand-child
sub-surfaces are synchronized, too, without explicitly setting them.
Destroying a sub-surface takes effect immediately. If you need to
synchronize the removal of a sub-surface to the parent surface update,
unmap the sub-surface first by attaching a NULL wl_buffer, update parent,
and then destroy the sub-surface.
If the parent wl_surface object is destroyed, the sub-surface is
unmapped.
A sub-surface never has the keyboard focus of any seat.
The wl_surface.offset request is ignored: clients must use set_position
instead to move the sub-surface.

<description summary="set sub-surface to synchronized mode">
Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to synchronized
mode, also described as the parent dependent mode.
In synchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
accumulate the committed state in a cache, but the state will
not be applied and hence will not change the compositor output.
The cached state is applied to the sub-surface immediately after
the parent surface's state is applied. This ensures atomic
updates of the parent and all its synchronized sub-surfaces.
Applying the cached state will invalidate the cache, so further
parent surface commits do not (re-)apply old state.
See wl_subsurface for the recursive effect of this mode.
</description>
</request>
<request name="set_desync">
<description summary="set sub-surface to desynchronized mode">
Change the commit behaviour of the sub-surface to desynchronized
mode, also described as independent or freely running mode.
In desynchronized mode, wl_surface.commit on a sub-surface will
apply the pending state directly, without caching, as happens
normally with a wl_surface. Calling wl_surface.commit on the
parent surface has no effect on the sub-surface's wl_surface
state. This mode allows a sub-surface to be updated on its own.
If cached state exists when wl_surface.commit is called in
desynchronized mode, the pending state is added to the cached
state, and applied as a whole. This invalidates the cache.
Note: even if a sub-surface is set to desynchronized, a parent
sub-surface may override it to behave as synchronized. For details,
see wl_subsurface.
If a surface's parent surface behaves as desynchronized, then
the cached state is applied on set_desync.
