Description-en: wayland compositor infrastructure - development files
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well
as a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be
a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and
evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client
itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers
(rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.
.
This package contains the development headers for the Wayland libraries.
Non-developers likely have little use for this package.
