  <interface name="agl_shell" version="10">
    <description summary="user interface for Automotive Grade Linux platform">
      Starting with version 2 of the protocol, the client is required to wait
      for the 'bound_ok' or 'bound_fail' events in order to proceed further.

      In case the client gets a 'bound_fail' event then it should consider that
      there's another client already bound to the agl_shell protocol.
      A client that receives a 'bound_ok' event should consider that there's
      no other client already bound to the interface and can proceed further.

      If the client uses an older version of the protocol it will receive
      automatically an error and the compositor will terminate the connection,
      if there's another client already bound the interface.

      If the client receives the 'bound_fail' event and attempts to use the
      interface further it will receive an error and the compositor will
      terminate the connection. After the 'bound_fail' event was received the
      client should call the destructor, which has been added with version 2
      of the protocol. The client is free to try at a later point in time to
      see if it will receive the 'bound_ok' event, but there's no explicit way
      of finding out when that event will be delivered.
      It is assumed that it can infer that information through other
      means/other channels.

        Tell the server that this client is ready to be shown. The server

        ready to be shown, and will display a black screen instead.
        This gives the client an opportunity to set up and configure several
        surfaces into a coherent interface.

        The client that binds to this interface must send this request, otherwise
        they may stall the compositor unnecessarily.

        If this request is called after the compositor has already finished
        start-up, no operation is performed.

        The surface must have a "desktop" surface role, as supported by
        libweston-desktop.

        Only a single surface may be the background for any output. If a

        After this request, the server will send a configure event with the
        corresponding width/height that the client should use, and 0 for the
        other dimension. E.g. if the edge is 'top', the width will be the
        output's width, and the height will be 0.

        The surface must have a "desktop" surface role, as supported by
        libweston-desktop.

        The compositor will take the panel's window geometry into account when
        positioning other windows, so the panels are not covered.

      A hint for the compositor to use a custom area, rather than

      to use the supplied rectangle and ignore any potential panels

      The x and y coordinates use the top-left corner as the origin. The

      than the output, would basically result in showing up the background
      surface.

        check for a successful status before going further with binding to
        the agl_shell interface.
