    <description summary="create surfaces that are layers of the desktop">
      Clients can use this interface to assign the surface_layer role to
      wl_surfaces. Such surfaces are assigned to a "layer" of the output and
      rendered with a defined z-depth respective to each other. They may also be
      anchored to the edges and corners of a screen and specify input handling
      semantics. This interface should be suitable for the implementation of
      many desktop shell components, and a broad number of other applications
      that interact with the desktop.

      <description summary="create a layer_surface from a surface">
        Create a layer surface for an existing surface. This assigns the role of
        layer_surface, or raises a protocol error if another role is already
        assigned.

        Creating a layer surface from a wl_surface which has a buffer attached
        or committed is a client error, and any attempts by a client to attach
        or manipulate a buffer prior to the first layer_surface.configure call
        must also be treated as errors.

        Clients can specify a namespace that defines the purpose of the layer
        surface.

    <description summary="layer metadata interface">
      An interface that may be implemented by a wl_surface, for surfaces that
      are designed to be rendered as a layer of a stacked desktop-like
      environment.

      Layer surface state (anchor, exclusive zone, margin) is double-buffered.
      Protocol requests modify the pending state, as opposed to the current
      state in use by the compositor. The wl_surface.commit request atomically
      applies all pending state, replacing the current state. After commit, the
      new pending state is as documented for each related request.

        Requests that the compositor anchor the surface to the specified edges
        and corners. If two orthoginal edges are specified (e.g. 'top' and
        'left'), then the anchor point will be the intersection of the edges
        (e.g. the top left corner of the output); otherwise the anchor point
        will be centered on that edge, or in the center if none is specified.

        Anchor is double-buffered, see wl_surface.commit.

    <request name="set_exclusive_zone">

        Requests that the compositor avoids occluding an area of the surface
        with other surfaces. The compositor's use of this information is
        implementation-dependent - do not assume that this region will not
        actually be occluded.

        This value is only meaningful if the surface is anchored to an edge,
        rather than a corner. The zone is the number of pixels from the edge
        that are considered exclusive.

        Exclusive zone is double-buffered, see wl_surface.commit.

        When a configure event is received, if a client commits the
        surface in response to the configure event, then the client
        must make an ack_configure request sometime before the commit
        request, passing along the serial of the configure event.

        If the client receives multiple configure events before it
        can respond to one, it only has to ack the last configure event.

        A client is not required to commit immediately after sending
        an ack_configure request - it may even ack_configure several times
        before its next surface commit.

        A client may send multiple ack_configure requests before committing, but
        only the last request sent before a commit indicates which configure
        event the client really is responding to.

        The configure event asks the client to resize its surface.

        Clients should arrange their surface for the new states, and then send
        an ack_configure request with the serial sent in this configure event at
        some point before committing the new surface.

        The client is free to dismiss all but the last configure event it
        received.

        The width and height arguments specify the size of the window in
        surface-local coordinates.

        The size is a hint, in the sense that the client is free to ignore it if
        it doesn't resize, pick a smaller size (to satisfy aspect ratio or
        resize in steps of NxM pixels). If the client picks a smaller size and
        is anchored to two opposite anchors (e.g. 'top' and 'bottom'), the
        surface will be centered on this axis.

        If the width or height arguments are zero, it means the client should
        decide its own window dimension.

      Clients can use this interface to specify input semantics for a layer
      surface on a given seat. By default, layer surfaces are considered
      non-interactive by seats, and will not participate in their focus
      semantics or receive input events for them.

      Input state is double-buffered.  Protocol requests modify the pending
      state, as opposed to the current state in use by the compositor. The

        Requests that the seat send input events for the specified input devices

        Positional events (pointer and touch) will only be sent if the layer
        surface is the top-most interactive surface, and only when the position
        of these events are relative to the surface. Enter and leave events will
        be signalled normally in these cases.

        Keyboard events will treat the layer surface as the only focused surface
        on the seat. Upon requesting keyboard events, the layer surface will
        receive a keyboard enter event. A leave event is signalled when it
        invokes set_events again without keyboard events specified.
