  <description summary="a protocol for low overhead screen content capturing">
    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>

  <interface name="zwlr_export_dmabuf_frame_v1" version="1">
    <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 the "object"
      callback once per dmabuf object or the "plane" callback, once per dmabuf
      plane. The "ready" event is called last 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 and
      by calling close() on the file descriptors received.
      All frames are read-only and may not be written into or altered.

        Main callback supplying the client with information about the frame,

        first before any other events.

        The "transform" argument describes the orientation needed to be applied
        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.

        The timestamp is expressed as tv_sec_hi, tv_sec_lo, tv_nsec triples,
        each component being an unsigned 32-bit value. Whole seconds are in
        tv_sec which is a 64-bit value combined from tv_sec_hi and tv_sec_lo,
        and the additional fractional part in tv_nsec as nanoseconds. Hence,
        for valid timestamps tv_nsec must be in [0, 999999999].
        The seconds part may have an arbitrary offset at start.
