+/**
+ * wlr_cursor implements the behavior of the "cursor", that is, the image on the
+ * screen typically moved about with a mouse or so. It provides tracking for
+ * this in global coordinates, and integrates with wlr_output,
+ * wlr_output_layout, and wlr_input_device. You can use it to abstract multiple
+ * input devices over a single cursor, constrain cursor movement to the usable
+ * area of a wlr_output_layout and communicate position updates to the hardware
+ * cursor, constrain specific input devices to specific outputs or regions of
+ * the screen, and so on.

+ * The interpretation of these signals is the responsibility of the

+ * receive a relative motion event, for example, you may want to call
+ * wlr_cursor_move. If you receive an absolute event, call
+ * wlr_cursor_warp_absolute. If you pass an input device into these
+ * functions, it will apply the region/output constraints associated with
+ * that device to the resulting cursor motion. If an output layout is
+ * attached, these functions will constrain the resulting cursor motion to
+ * within the usable space of the output layout.
+ *
+ * Re-broadcasting these signals to, for example, a wlr_seat, is also your
+ * responsibility.
