28  <description summary="protocol for constraining pointer motions">
29    This protocol specifies a set of interfaces used for adding constraints to
30    the motion of a pointer. Possible constraints include confining pointer
31    motions to a given region, or locking it to its current position.
32
33    In order to constrain the pointer, a client must first bind the global
34    interface "wp_pointer_constraints" which, if a compositor supports pointer
35    constraints, is exposed by the registry. Using the bound global object, the
36    client uses the request that corresponds to the type of constraint it wants
37    to make. See wp_pointer_constraints for more details.
38
39    Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and backward
40    incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes may be added
41    together with the corresponding interface version bump. Backward
42    incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in the protocol
43    and interface names and resetting the interface version. Once the protocol
44    is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the version number in the
45    protocol and interface names are removed and the interface version number is
46    reset.

50    <description summary="constrain the movement of a pointer">
51      The global interface exposing pointer constraining functionality. It
52      exposes two requests: lock_pointer for locking the pointer to its
53      position, and confine_pointer for locking the pointer to a region.
54
55      The lock_pointer and confine_pointer requests create the objects
56      wp_locked_pointer and wp_confined_pointer respectively, and the client can
57      use these objects to interact with the lock.
58
59      For any surface, only one lock or confinement may be active across all
60      wl_pointer objects of the same seat. If a lock or confinement is requested
61      when another lock or confinement is active or requested on the same surface
62      and with any of the wl_pointer objects of the same seat, an
63      'already_constrained' error will be raised.

107      <description summary="lock pointer to a position">
108	The lock_pointer request lets the client request to disable movements of
109	the virtual pointer (i.e. the cursor), effectively locking the pointer
110	to a position. This request may not take effect immediately; in the
111	future, when the compositor deems implementation-specific constraints
112	are satisfied, the pointer lock will be activated and the compositor
113	sends a locked event.
114
115	The protocol provides no guarantee that the constraints are ever
116	satisfied, and does not require the compositor to send an error if the
117	constraints cannot ever be satisfied. It is thus possible to request a
118	lock that will never activate.
119
120	There may not be another pointer constraint of any kind requested or
121	active on the surface for any of the wl_pointer objects of the seat of
122	the passed pointer when requesting a lock. If there is, an error will be
123	raised. See general pointer lock documentation for more details.
124
125	The intersection of the region passed with this request and the input
126	region of the surface is used to determine where the pointer must be
127	in order for the lock to activate. It is up to the compositor whether to
128	warp the pointer or require some kind of user interaction for the lock
129	to activate. If the region is null the surface input region is used.
130
131	A surface may receive pointer focus without the lock being activated.
132
133	The request creates a new object wp_locked_pointer which is used to
134	interact with the lock as well as receive updates about its state. See
135	the the description of wp_locked_pointer for further information.
136
137	Note that while a pointer is locked, the wl_pointer objects of the
138	corresponding seat will not emit any wl_pointer.motion events, but
139	relative motion events will still be emitted via wp_relative_pointer
140	objects of the same seat. wl_pointer.axis and wl_pointer.button events
141	are unaffected.

191      This object will send the event 'locked' when the lock is activated.
192      Whenever the lock is activated, it is guaranteed that the locked surface
193      will already have received pointer focus and that the pointer will be
194      within the region passed to the request creating this object.
195
196      To unlock the pointer, send the destroy request. This will also destroy
197      the wp_locked_pointer object.

199      If the compositor decides to unlock the pointer the unlocked event is
200      sent. See wp_locked_pointer.unlock for details.
201
202      When unlocking, the compositor may warp the cursor position to the set
