Some features use the concept of a + presentation clock, which is defined in presentation.clock_id + event. + + Request 'feedback' can be regarded as an additional wl_surface + method. It is part of the double-buffered surface state update + mechanism, where other requests first set up the state and then + wl_surface.commit atomically applies the state into use. In + other words, wl_surface.commit submits a content update. + +<!-- Completing presentation --> + + When the final realized presentation time is available, e.g. + after a framebuffer flip completes, the requested + presentation_feedback.presented events are sent. The final + presentation time can differ from the compositor's predicted + display update time and the update's target time, especially + when the compositor misses its target vertical blanking period. + +<!-- Unstable protocol warning --> + + Warning!

Hence, + for valid timestamps tv_nsec must be in [0, 999999999]. + + Note that clock_id applies only to the presentation clock, + and implies nothing about e.g. the timestamps used in the + Wayland core protocol input events. + </description> + + <arg name="clk_id" type="uint" summary="platform clock identifier"/> + </event> + + </interface> + + <interface name="zwl_presentation_feedback1" version="1"> + <description summary="presentation time feedback event"> + A presentation_feedback object returns an indication that a + wl_surface content update has become visible to the user. + One object corresponds to one content update submission + (wl_surface.commit).

If presentation is done by a copy to the active + frontbuffer, then it must guarantee that tearing cannot + happen. + + HW_CLOCK: + The display hardware provided measurements that the hardware + driver converted into a presentation timestamp. Sampling a + clock in user space is not acceptable for this flag. + + HW_COMPLETION: + The display hardware signalled that it started using the new + image content. The opposite of this is e.g. a timer being used + to guess when the display hardware has switched to the new + image content. + + ZERO_COPY: + The presentation of this update was done zero-copy. This means + the buffer from the client was given to display hardware as + is, without copying it.
