  <interface name="agl_shell" version="3">
    <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.

    <request name="ready">
      <description summary="client is ready to be shown">
        Tell the server that this client is ready to be shown. The server
        will delay presentation during start-up until all shell clients are
        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.

    <request name="set_background">
      <description summary="set surface as output's background">
        Set the surface to act as the background of an output. After this
        request, the server will immediately send a configure event with
        the dimensions the client should use to cover the entire output.

        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
        background surface already exists, a protocol error is raised.

      <description summary="set surface as panel">
        Set the surface to act as a panel of an output. The 'edge' argument
        says what edge of the output the surface will be anchored to.
        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.

        XXX: What happens if e.g. both top and left are used at the same time?
        Who gets to have the corner?

        Only a single surface may be the panel for an output's edge. If a
        surface already exists on an edge, a protocol error is raised.

    <request name="set_app_split" since="3">
      <description summary="set the application split">
        Request changes the application from the original mode (whatever that
        might be) to a split, tiled orientation mode defined in the orientation
        enum. Clients need to implement resizing (meaing handle xdg-shell
        configure events) for this to work correctly.

        This request only handles a single level of tiling for practical
        reasons: to keep implementation simple and straight forward. The
        compositor will ignore requests if there are already two windows
        present, and will terminate the client's connection with a protocol
        violation, if it detects more than one tiling level.

        If there's no app_id with the supplied name it will be added to a
        pending list in order to be applied when an application id gets started.
        Applications can use this approch if they want to be started in a
        tiled orientantion position, before creating the xdg-shell toplevel role.

        A none orientation type would make the window go back to the original
        maximized mode. If two windows are side by side, returning one of them
        back the original mode would mean the other one will be made hidden
        and the one doing the request for the none orientation will become
        the currently active window. A further activation, using activate_app
        request for the other window would make that one active.

        Closing the window in the tiled orientation state implies that either
        the background surface will displayed, or in case there was another
        applications being shown at that time, will make that application be
        returned to the original, maximized state.

        The tiled orientation could be applied independently of each other,
        such that a client can transition from one tiled orientation to
        another. Note that any other window already present would literally
        take the opposite orientation with the one currently being changed. So
        tiled orientation modification automatically implies a tile orientation
        for any other application already present/active at that time.

        In case there's already a client active at that time, it will be
        attributed automatically the opposite tiled orientation, such that two
        concurrent applications can be displayed at the same time.

        The orientation tiles can not be combined, and only state at a time
        can be active. Only horizontal and vertical tiling is possible.

        Input focus is being delivered to the last started/activated window, such
        that users can cycle between that one or the other, assumes there's
        another window in the first place.

        See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
        description of app_id.
