Module Wayland_client.Wl_buffer

Content for a wl_surface.

A buffer provides the content for a wl_surface. Buffers are created through factory interfaces such as wl_shm, wp_linux_buffer_params (from the linux-dmabuf protocol extension) or similar. It has a width and a height and can be attached to a wl_surface, but the mechanism by which a client provides and updates the contents is defined by the buffer factory interface.

Color channels are assumed to be electrical rather than optical (in other words, encoded with a transfer function) unless otherwise specified. If the buffer uses a format that has an alpha channel, the alpha channel is assumed to be premultiplied into the electrical color channel values (after transfer function encoding) unless otherwise specified.

Note, because wl_buffer objects are created from multiple independent factory interfaces, the wl_buffer interface is frozen at version 1.

type 'v t = ([ `Wl_buffer ], 'v, [ `Client ]) Proxy.t

Version 1

val destroy : [< `V1 ] t -> unit

Destroy a buffer.

Destroy a buffer. If and how you need to release the backing storage is defined by the buffer factory interface.

For possible side-effects to a surface, see wl_surface.attach.

Handlers

Note: Servers will always want to use v1.
