+ <description summary="protocol to configure output devices">
+ This protocol exposes interfaces to get and change output device
+ configuration.
+
+ 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.

+ <interface name="zwlr_output_manager_v1" version="1">
+ <description summary="output device configuration manager">
+ This interface is a manager that allows reading and writing the current
+ output device configuration.
+
+ Output devices that display pixels (e.g. a physical monitor or a virtual
+ output in a window) are represented as heads. Heads cannot be created nor
+ destroyed, but they can be enabled or disabled and their properties can be
+ changed. Each head may have one or more available modes.
+
+ Heads are advertised when the output manager is bound, and whenever they
+ appear.
+
+ Whenever the number of heads or modes changes, the done event will be
+ sent. It carries a serial which can be used in a create_configuration
+ request to change heads properties.
+
+ The information obtained from this protocol should only be used for output
+ configuration purposes. This protocol is not designed to be a generic
+ output property advertisement protocol for regular clients. Instead,
+ protocols such as xdg-output should be used.

+ <description summary="output device">
+ A head is an output device. The difference with wl_output is that heads
+ are advertized even if they are turned off. A head object only advertises
+ properties and cannot be used directly to change them. In order to update
+ some properties, one needs to create a wlr_output_configuration object.
+
+ A head has some read-only properties: mode, name, description and
+ physical_size. These cannot be changed by clients.
+
+ enabled and current_mode are physical properties. Updating them might take
+ some time, depending on hardware limitations.
+
+ position, transform and scale are logical properties. They describe how

+ be reused later. The names will also remain consistent across sessions
+ with the same hardware and software configuration.
+
+ Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do
+ not assume that the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM
+ connector, X11 connection, etc.
