   Data Fields
       const char * name

       const struct wl_message * methods
       int event_count
       const struct wl_message * events

Detailed Description

       Protocol object interface

       A wl_interface describes the API of a protocol object defined in the Wayland protocol specification. The
       protocol implementation uses a wl_interface within its marshalling machinery for encoding client
       requests.

       The name of a wl_interface is the name of the corresponding protocol interface, and version represents
       the version of the interface. The members method_count and event_count represent the number of methods
       (requests) and events in the respective wl_message members.

       For example, consider a protocol interface foo, marked as version 1, with two requests and one event.

       <interface name="foo" version="1">
         <request name="a"></request>
         <request name="b"></request>
         <event name="c"></event>
       </interface>

       Given two wl_message arrays foo_requests and foo_events, a wl_interface for foo might be:

       struct wl_interface foo_interface = {
               "foo", 1,
               2, foo_requests,
               1, foo_events
       };

       Note
           The server side of the protocol may define interface implementation types that incorporate the term
           interface in their name. Take care to not confuse these server-side structs with a wl_interface
           variable whose name also ends in interface. For example, while the server may define a type struct
           wl_foo_interface, the client may define a struct wl_interface wl_foo_interface.
