Detailed Description

       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.

       If the buffer uses a format that has an alpha channel, the alpha channel is assumed to be
       premultiplied in the color channels unless otherwise specified.

Member Function Documentation

   std::string wayland::server::resource_t::get_class () [inherited]
       Retrieve the interface name (class) of a resource object.

       Returns
           Interface name of the resource object.

   client_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_client () const [inherited]
       Get the associated client

       Returns
           the client that owns the resource.

   uint32_t wayland::server::resource_t::get_id () const [inherited]
       Get the internal ID of the resource

       Returns
           the internal ID of the resource

   unsigned int wayland::server::resource_t::get_version () const [inherited]
       Get interface version

       Returns
           Interface version this resource has been constructed with.

   std::function< void()> & buffer_t::on_destroy ()
       destroy a buffer Destroy a buffer. If and how you need to release the backing storage is
       defined by the buffer factory interface.

       For possible side-effects to a surface, see wl_surface.attach.

   void wayland::server::resource_t::post_no_memory () const [inherited]
       Post 'not enough memory' error to the client

       If the compositor has not enough memory to fulfill a certail request of the client, this
       function can be called to notify the client of this circumstance.

   bool wayland::server::resource_t::proxy_has_object () const [inherited]
       Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.

       Returns
           true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty

   void buffer_t::release (bool post = true)
       compositor releases buffer Sent when this wl_buffer is no longer used by the compositor.
       The client is now free to reuse or destroy this buffer and its backing storage.

       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.
