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.
This interface is a manager that allows creating per-seat data device
controls.
Create a new data source.
Create a data device that can be used to manage a seat's selection.
All objects created by the manager will still remain valid, until their
appropriate destroy request has been called.
This interface allows a client to manage a seat's selection.
When the seat is destroyed, this object becomes inert.
This request asks the compositor to set the selection to the data from
the source on behalf of the client.
The given source may not be used in any further set_selection or
set_primary_selection requests. Attempting to use a previously used
source is a protocol error.
To unset the selection, set the source to NULL.
Destroys the data device object.
The data_offer event introduces a new wlr_data_control_offer object,
which will subsequently be used in either the
wlr_data_control_device.selection event (for the regular clipboard
selections) or the wlr_data_control_device.primary_selection event (for
the primary clipboard selections). Immediately following the
wlr_data_control_device.data_offer event, the new data_offer object
will send out wlr_data_control_offer.offer events to describe the MIME
types it offers.
The selection event is sent out to notify the client of a new
wlr_data_control_offer for the selection for this device. The
wlr_data_control_device.data_offer and the wlr_data_control_offer.offer
events are sent out immediately before this event to introduce the data
offer object. The selection event is sent to a client when a new
selection is set. The wlr_data_control_offer is valid until a new
wlr_data_control_offer or NULL is received. The client must destroy the
previous selection wlr_data_control_offer, if any, upon receiving this
event.
The first selection event is sent upon binding the
wlr_data_control_device object.
This data control object is no longer valid and should be destroyed by
the client.
The primary_selection event is sent out to notify the client of a new
wlr_data_control_offer for the primary selection for this device. The
wlr_data_control_device.data_offer and the wlr_data_control_offer.offer
events are sent out immediately before this event to introduce the data
offer object. The primary_selection event is sent to a client when a
new primary selection is set. The wlr_data_control_offer is valid until
a new wlr_data_control_offer or NULL is received. The client must
destroy the previous primary selection wlr_data_control_offer, if any,
upon receiving this event.
If the compositor supports primary selection, the first
primary_selection event is sent upon binding the
wlr_data_control_device object.
This request asks the compositor to set the primary selection to the
data from the source on behalf of the client.
The given source may not be used in any further set_selection or
set_primary_selection requests. Attempting to use a previously used
source is a protocol error.
To unset the primary selection, set the source to NULL.
The compositor will ignore this request if it does not support primary
selection.
The wlr_data_control_source object is the source side of a
wlr_data_control_offer. It is created by the source client in a data
transfer and provides a way to describe the offered data and a way to
respond to requests to transfer the data.
This request adds a MIME type to the set of MIME types advertised to
targets. Can be called several times to offer multiple types.
Calling this after wlr_data_control_device.set_selection is a protocol
error.
Destroys the data source object.
Request for data from the client. Send the data as the specified MIME
type over the passed file descriptor, then close it.
This data source is no longer valid. The data source has been replaced
by another data source.
The client should clean up and destroy this data source.
A wlr_data_control_offer represents a piece of data offered for transfer
by another client (the source client). The offer describes the different
MIME types that the data can be converted to and provides the mechanism
for transferring the data directly from the source client.
To transfer the offered data, the client issues this request and
indicates the MIME type 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
then closes its end, at which point the transfer is complete.
This request may happen multiple times for different MIME types.
Destroys the data offer object.
Sent immediately after creating the wlr_data_control_offer object.
One event per offered MIME type.
