+ <description summary="a frame ready for readout">
+ An interface to capture surfaces in an efficient way.
+ Overall usage:
+
+ 1.) client registers with zwlr_screencontent_manager_v1
+ 2.) server sends client info about surfaces via "receive_surface_info"
+ 3.) client subscribes to capture a surface via the "capture" requests
+ 4.) server sends client events via the "zwlr_screencontent_frame" interface
+ 5.) client finishes and informs server via the "frame_destroy" event
+ 6.) client optionally resubscribes via repeating steps 3.) through 5.)

+ <description summary="a frame ready for readout">
+ This object represents a frame which is ready to have its resources
+ fetched and used.
+
+ The receive callback shall be called first, followed by either the
+ "dma_object" callback once per object or the "dma_layer" callback,
+ once per layer. The "dma_plane" callback shall only be called after
+ the "dma_layer" callback corresponding to the layer the plane belongs
+ to has been called. Finally, the "ready" event is called to indicate that
+ all the data has been made available for readout, as well as the time
+ at which presentation happened at.
+ The ownership of the frame is passed to the client, who's responsible for
+ destroying it via the "destroy" event once finished.
+ The data the API describes has been based off of what
+ VASurfaceAttribExternalBuffers contains.
+ All frames are read-only and may not be written into or altered.

+ to correctly orient the buffer. For example, a buffer rotated by 90
+ degrees will have a value of "3" here, corresponding to the need to
+ apply a 270 degree transpose to correctly present the buffer.
