- <description summary="Primary selection protocol">
- This protocol provides the ability to have a primary selection device to
- match that of the X server. This primary selection is a shortcut to the
- common clipboard selection, where text just needs to be selected in order
- to allow copying it elsewhere. The de facto way to perform this action
- is the middle mouse button, although it is not limited to this one.
-
- Clients wishing to honor primary selection should create a primary
- selection source and set it as the selection through
- wp_primary_selection_device.set_selection whenever the text selection
- changes. In order to minimize calls in pointer-driven text selection,
- it should happen only once after the operation finished. Similarly,
- a NULL source should be set when text is unselected.
-
- wp_primary_selection_offer objects are first announced through the
- wp_primary_selection_device.data_offer event. Immediately after this event,
- the primary data offer will emit wp_primary_selection_offer.offer events
- to let know of the mime types being offered.
-
- When the primary selection changes, the client with the keyboard focus
- will receive wp_primary_selection_device.selection events. Only the client
- with the keyboard focus will receive such events with a non-NULL
- wp_primary_selection_offer. Across keyboard focus changes, previously
- focused clients will receive wp_primary_selection_device.events with a
- NULL wp_primary_selection_offer.
-
- In order to request the primary selection data, the client must pass
- a recent serial pertaining to the press event that is triggering the
- operation, if the compositor deems the serial valid and recent, the
- wp_primary_selection_source.send event will happen in the other end
- to let the transfer begin. The client owning the primary selection
- should write the requested data, and close the file descriptor
- immediately.
-
- If the primary selection owner client disappeared during the transfer,
- the client reading the data will receive a
- wp_primary_selection_device.selection event with a NULL
- wp_primary_selection_offer, the client should take this as a hint
- to finish the reads related to the no longer existing offer.
-
- The primary selection owner should be checking for errors during
- writes, merely cancelling the ongoing transfer if any happened.

- <description summary="offer to transfer primary selection contents">
- A wp_primary_selection_offer represents an offer to transfer the contents
- of the primary selection clipboard to the client. Similar to

-
- <request name="receive">
- <description summary="request that the data is transferred">
- To transfer the contents of the primary selection clipboard, the client
- issues this request and indicates the mime type that it wants to
- receive. The transfer happens through the passed file descriptor
- (typically created with the pipe system call). The source client writes
- the data in the mime type representation requested and then closes the
- file descriptor.
-
- The receiving client reads from the read end of the pipe until EOF and
- closes its end, at which point the transfer is complete.
