+ <description summary="protocol to configure output devices">
+ This protocol exposes interfaces to obtain and modify output device
+ configuration.
+
+ Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
+ backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible changes
+ may be added together with the corresponding interface version bump.
+ Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version number in
+ the protocol and interface names and resetting the interface version.
+ Once the protocol is to be declared stable, the 'z' prefix and the
+ version number in the protocol and interface names are removed and the
+ interface version number is reset.

+
+ <interface name="zwlr_output_manager_v1" version="4">
+ <description summary="output device configuration manager">
+ This interface is a manager that allows reading and writing the current
+ output device configuration.
+
+ Output devices that display pixels (e.g. a physical monitor or a virtual
+ output in a window) are represented as heads. Heads cannot be created nor
+ destroyed by the client, but they can be enabled or disabled and their
+ properties can be changed. Each head may have one or more available modes.
+
+ Whenever a head appears (e.g. a monitor is plugged in), it will be
+ advertised via the head event. Immediately after the output manager is
+ bound, all current heads are advertised.
+
+ Whenever a head's properties change, the relevant wlr_output_head events
+ will be sent. Not all head properties will be sent: only properties that
+ have changed need to.
+
+ Whenever a head disappears (e.g. a monitor is unplugged), a
+ wlr_output_head.finished event will be sent.
+
+ After one or more heads appear, change or disappear, the done event will
+ be sent. It carries a serial which can be used in a create_configuration
+ request to update heads properties.
+
+ The information obtained from this protocol should only be used for output
+ configuration purposes. This protocol is not designed to be a generic
+ output property advertisement protocol for regular clients. Instead,
+ protocols such as xdg-output should be used.

+ <description summary="output device">
+ A head is an output device. The difference between a wl_output object and

+
+ A head has some read-only properties: modes, name, description and

+
+ Other properties can be updated via a wlr_output_configuration object.

+ be reused later. The names will also remain consistent across sessions
+ with the same hardware and software configuration.
+
+ Examples of names include 'HDMI-A-1', 'WL-1', 'X11-1', etc. However, do
+ not assume that the name is a reflection of an underlying DRM
