+ <description summary="control data devices">
+ This protocol allows a privileged client to control data devices. In
+ particular, the client will be able to manage the current selection and take
+ the role of a clipboard manager.
+
+ 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.

+ then closes its end, at which point the transfer is complete.
