set the surface contents
Set a buffer as the content of this surface.
The new size of the surface is calculated based on the buffer size transformed by the inverse buffer_transform and the inverse buffer_scale. This means that at commit time the supplied buffer size must be an integer multiple of the buffer_scale. If that’s not the case, an invalid_size error is sent.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the new pending buffer’s upper left corner, relative to the current buffer’s upper left corner, in surface-local coordinates. In other words, the x and y, combined with the new surface size define in which directions the surface’s size changes. Setting anything other than 0 as x and y arguments is discouraged, and should instead be replaced with using the separate wl_surface.offset request.
When the bound wl_surface version is 5 or higher, passing any non-zero x or y is a protocol violation, and will result in an ‘invalid_offset’ error being raised. The x and y arguments are ignored and do not change the pending state. To achieve equivalent semantics, use wl_surface.offset.
Surface contents are double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit.
The initial surface contents are void; there is no content. wl_surface.attach assigns the given wl_buffer as the pending wl_buffer. wl_surface.commit makes the pending wl_buffer the new surface contents, and the size of the surface becomes the size calculated from the wl_buffer, as described above. After commit, there is no pending buffer until the next attach.
Committing a pending wl_buffer allows the compositor to read the pixels in the wl_buffer. The compositor may access the pixels at any time after the wl_surface.commit request. When the compositor will not access the pixels anymore, it will send the wl_buffer.release event. Only after receiving wl_buffer.release, the client may reuse the wl_buffer. A wl_buffer that has been attached and then replaced by another attach instead of committed will not receive a release event, and is not used by the compositor.
If a pending wl_buffer has been committed to more than one wl_surface, the delivery of wl_buffer.release events becomes undefined. A well behaved client should not rely on wl_buffer.release events in this case. Alternatively, a client could create multiple wl_buffer objects from the same backing storage or use wp_linux_buffer_release.
Destroying the wl_buffer after wl_buffer.release does not change the surface contents. Destroying the wl_buffer before wl_buffer.release is allowed as long as the underlying buffer storage isn’t re-used (this can happen e.g. on client process termination). However, if the client destroys the wl_buffer before receiving the wl_buffer.release event and mutates the underlying buffer storage, the surface contents become undefined immediately.
If wl_surface.attach is sent with a NULL wl_buffer, the following wl_surface.commit will remove the surface content.
