//! Misc protocols
//!
//! This module contains protocols that are not clearly packaged by their maintainers,
//! often being implementation details of desktop environment, but can be used by external
//! tools for interoperability.
//!
//! Given they are not clearly packaged, the maintainers of this crate cannot guarantee
//! anything when it comes to them being up to date or the stability of their interface.
//! Pull requests for updating them will be welcomed, but we won't actively check if they
//! have received any updates.

pub mod gtk_primary_selection {
//! Gtk 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.
