wayland-server
Server side API for the Wayland protocol. This crate provides infrastructure for manipulating
Wayland objects, as well as object definitions for the core Wayland protocol. Protocol extensions
can be supported as well by combining this crate with wayland-protocols
, which provides object
definitions for a large set of extensions.
Note: This crate is a low-level interface to the Wayland protocol. If you are looking for a more battery-included toolkit for writing a Wayland server, you may consider Smithay, which is a Wayland server framework built on top of it.
The crate has different backends to Wayland protocol serialization:
- By default, it uses a pure-rust implementation of the protocol, and contains little
unsafe
code. - Activating the
use_system_lib
makes it instead bind to the systemlibwayland-server.so
. This allows you to access C pointer versions of the wayland objects, which is necessary for interfacing with other non-Rust Wayland-related libraries (such as for OpenGL support, see thewayland-egl
crate). - Activating the
dlopen
impliesuse_system_lib
, but additionaly the crate will not explicitly link tolibwayland-server.so
and instead try to open it at runtime, and return an error if it cannot find it. This allows you to build apps that can gracefully run in non-Wayland environment without needing compile-time switches.
