Skylane

skylane is implementation of Wayland protocol written in Rust.

Project consists of three repositories:

• skylane - core protocol implementation

• skylane_scanner - generates marshalling code from XML protocol description (equivalent to wayland-scanner)

• skylane_protocols - protocol marshalling code generated using skylane_scanner + some glue code

Documentation

Documentation can be found on docs.rs.

Project

skylane is developed as part of perceptia project. Most up to date usage examples can be found there.

lib.rs:

This crate supplements skylane crate with bindings Wayland protocol automatically generated from XML protocol description files.

This crate is planed to provide implementation for all (stable and unstable) protocols. If something is missing, let us know.

Implementation

Each protocol description file contains requests (from client to server) and events (from server to client). In server part requests are translated to:

• interfaces - traits describing methods of a Wayland protocol object
• dispatchers - structures translating socket data to calls to methods on objects implementing appropriate interface. while events to stand-alone functions. On client side vice-versa.

Handler structure helps bind Dispatcher with implementation of its Interface to register it in server::Connection from skylane crate.

Server examples
