  <interface name="zwp_fullscreen_shell_v1" version="1">

      Displays a single surface per output.

      This interface provides a mechanism for a single client to display
      simple full-screen surfaces.  While there technically may be multiple
      clients bound to this interface, only one of those clients should be
      shown at a time.

      To present a surface, the client uses either the present_surface or
      present_surface_for_mode requests.  Presenting a surface takes effect
      on the next wl_surface.commit.  See the individual requests for
      details about scaling and mode switches.

      The client can have at most one surface per output at any time.
      Requesting a surface to be presented on an output that already has a
      surface replaces the previously presented surface.  Presenting a null
      surface removes its content and effectively disables the output.
      Exactly what happens when an output is "disabled" is
      compositor-specific.  The same surface may be presented on multiple
      outputs simultaneously.

      Once a surface is presented on an output, it stays on that output
      until either the client removes it or the compositor destroys the
      output.  This way, the client can update the output's contents by
      simply attaching a new buffer.

      Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
      backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
      may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
      Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
      the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
      Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
      version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
      interface version number is reset.

    <request name="release" type="destructor">

	Release the binding from the wl_fullscreen_shell interface.

	the client binds to wl_fullscreen_shell multiple times, it may wish
	to free some of those bindings.

    <enum name="capability">
      <description summary="capabilities advertised by the compositor">
	Various capabilities that can be advertised by the compositor.  They
	are advertised one-at-a-time when the wl_fullscreen_shell interface is
	bound.  See the wl_fullscreen_shell.capability event for more details.

	ARBITRARY_MODES:
	This is a hint to the client that indicates that the compositor is
	capable of setting practically any mode on its outputs.  If this
	capability is provided, wl_fullscreen_shell.present_surface_for_mode
	will almost never fail and clients should feel free to set whatever
	mode they like.  If the compositor does not advertise this, it may
	still support some modes that are not advertised through wl_global.mode
	but it is less likely.

	CURSOR_PLANE:
	This is a hint to the client that indicates that the compositor can
	handle a cursor surface from the client without actually compositing.
	This may be because of a hardware cursor plane or some other mechanism.
	If the compositor does not advertise this capability then setting
	wl_pointer.cursor may degrade performance or be ignored entirely.  If
	CURSOR_PLANE is not advertised, it is recommended that the client draw
	its own cursor and set wl_pointer.cursor(NULL).

    <event name="capability">
      <description summary="advertises a capability of the compositor">
	Advertises a single capability of the compositor.

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

    </enum>

    <request name="present_surface">
      <description summary="present surface for display">
	Present a surface on the given output.

	If the output is null, the compositor will present the surface on
	whatever display (or displays) it thinks best.  In particular, this
	may replace any or all surfaces currently presented so it should
	not be used in combination with placing surfaces on specific
	outputs.

	The method parameter is a hint to the compositor for how the surface
	is to be presented.  In particular, it tells the compositor how to
	handle a size mismatch between the presented surface and the
	output.  The compositor is free to ignore this parameter.

	The "zoom", "zoom_crop", and "stretch" methods imply a scaling
	operation on the surface.  This will override any kind of output
	scaling, so the buffer_scale property of the surface is effectively
	ignored.

    <request name="present_surface_for_mode">
      <description summary="present surface for display at a particular mode">
	Presents a surface on the given output for a particular mode.

	If the current size of the output differs from that of the surface,
	the compositor will attempt to change the size of the output to
	match the surface.  The result of the mode-switch operation will be
	returned via the provided wl_fullscreen_shell_mode_feedback object.

	If the current output mode matches the one requested or if the
	compositor successfully switches the mode to match the surface,
	then the mode_successful event will be sent and the output will
	contain the contents of the given surface.  If the compositor
	cannot match the output size to the surface size, the mode_failed
	will be sent and the output will contain the contents of the
	previously presented surface (if any).  If another surface is
	presented on the given output before either of these has a chance
	to happen, the present_cancelled event will be sent.

	Due to race conditions and other issues unknown to the client, no
	mode-switch operation is guaranteed to succeed.  However, if the
	mode is one advertised by wl_output.mode or if the compositor
	advertises the ARBITRARY_MODES capability, then the client should
	expect that the mode-switch operation will usually succeed.

	If the size of the presented surface changes, the resulting output
	is undefined.  The compositor may attempt to change the output mode
	to compensate.  However, there is no guarantee that a suitable mode
	will be found and the client has no way to be notified of success
	or failure.

	The framerate parameter specifies the desired framerate for the
	output in mHz.  The compositor is free to ignore this parameter.  A
	value of 0 indicates that the client has no preference.

	If the value of wl_output.scale differs from wl_surface.buffer_scale,
	then the compositor may choose a mode that matches either the buffer
	size or the surface size.  In either case, the surface will fill the
	output.
