31      Displays a single surface per output.
32
33      This interface provides a mechanism for a single client to display
34      simple full-screen surfaces.  While there technically may be multiple
35      clients bound to this interface, only one of those clients should be
36      shown at a time.
37
38      To present a surface, the client uses either the present_surface or
39      present_surface_for_mode requests.  Presenting a surface takes effect
40      on the next wl_surface.commit.  See the individual requests for
41      details about scaling and mode switches.
42
43      The client can have at most one surface per output at any time.
44      Requesting a surface to be presented on an output that already has a
45      surface replaces the previously presented surface.  Presenting a null
46      surface removes its content and effectively disables the output.
47      Exactly what happens when an output is "disabled" is
48      compositor-specific.  The same surface may be presented on multiple
49      outputs simultaneously.
50
51      Once a surface is presented on an output, it stays on that output
52      until either the client removes it or the compositor destroys the
53      output.  This way, the client can update the output's contents by
54      simply attaching a new buffer.
55
56      Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
57      backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
58      may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
59      Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
60      the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
61      Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
62      version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
63      interface version number is reset.

77      <description summary="capabilities advertised by the compositor">
78	Various capabilities that can be advertised by the compositor.  They
79	are advertised one-at-a-time when the wl_fullscreen_shell interface is
80	bound.  See the wl_fullscreen_shell.capability event for more details.
81
82	ARBITRARY_MODES:
83	This is a hint to the client that indicates that the compositor is
84	capable of setting practically any mode on its outputs.  If this
85	capability is provided, wl_fullscreen_shell.present_surface_for_mode
86	will almost never fail and clients should feel free to set whatever
87	mode they like.  If the compositor does not advertise this, it may
88	still support some modes that are not advertised through wl_global.mode
89	but it is less likely.
90
91	CURSOR_PLANE:
92	This is a hint to the client that indicates that the compositor can
93	handle a cursor surface from the client without actually compositing.
94	This may be because of a hardware cursor plane or some other mechanism.
95	If the compositor does not advertise this capability then setting
96	wl_pointer.cursor may degrade performance or be ignored entirely.  If
97	CURSOR_PLANE is not advertised, it is recommended that the client draw
98	its own cursor and set wl_pointer.cursor(NULL).

107
108	When the wl_fullscreen_shell interface is bound, this event is emitted
109	once for each capability advertised.  Valid capabilities are given by
110	the wl_fullscreen_shell.capability enum.  If clients want to take
111	advantage of any of these capabilities, they should use a
112	wl_display.sync request immediately after binding to ensure that they
113	receive all the capability events.

135	If the output is null, the compositor will present the surface on
136	whatever display (or displays) it thinks best.  In particular, this
137	may replace any or all surfaces currently presented so it should
138	not be used in combination with placing surfaces on specific
139	outputs.
140
141	The method parameter is a hint to the compositor for how the surface
142	is to be presented.  In particular, it tells the compositor how to
143	handle a size mismatch between the presented surface and the
144	output.  The compositor is free to ignore this parameter.
145
146	The "zoom", "zoom_crop", and "stretch" methods imply a scaling
147	operation on the surface.  This will override any kind of output
148	scaling, so the buffer_scale property of the surface is effectively
149	ignored.

158	Presents a surface on the given output for a particular mode.
159
160	If the current size of the output differs from that of the surface,
161	the compositor will attempt to change the size of the output to
162	match the surface.  The result of the mode-switch operation will be
163	returned via the provided wl_fullscreen_shell_mode_feedback object.
164
165	If the current output mode matches the one requested or if the
166	compositor successfully switches the mode to match the surface,
167	then the mode_successful event will be sent and the output will
168	contain the contents of the given surface.  If the compositor
169	cannot match the output size to the surface size, the mode_failed
170	will be sent and the output will contain the contents of the
171	previously presented surface (if any).  If another surface is
172	presented on the given output before either of these has a chance
173	to happen, the present_cancelled event will be sent.
174
175	Due to race conditions and other issues unknown to the client, no
176	mode-switch operation is guaranteed to succeed.  However, if the
177	mode is one advertised by wl_output.mode or if the compositor
178	advertises the ARBITRARY_MODES capability, then the client should
179	expect that the mode-switch operation will usually succeed.
180
181	If the size of the presented surface changes, the resulting output
182	is undefined.  The compositor may attempt to change the output mode
183	to compensate.  However, there is no guarantee that a suitable mode
184	will be found and the client has no way to be notified of success
185	or failure.
186
187	The framerate parameter specifies the desired framerate for the
188	output in mHz.  The compositor is free to ignore this parameter.  A
189	value of 0 indicates that the client has no preference.
190
191	If the value of wl_output.scale differs from wl_surface.buffer_scale,
192	then the compositor may choose a mode that matches either the buffer
193	size or the surface size.  In either case, the surface will fill the
194	output.
