Class type

Connect to a Wayland server and interact with the initial display object.

Client-side connection to Wayland display.

type t
module type TRACE = Proxy.TRACE with type role = [ `Client ]
val connect : ?trace:(module TRACE) -> sw:Eio.Switch.t -> S.transport -> t

connect ~sw transport runs the Wayland protocol over transport (typically created with Unix_transport.connect).

It spawns a background thread (attached to sw) to handle incoming messages. If the thread gets an error then the switch will be cancelled.

The caller is responsible for ensuring transport is closed, but the library will shut it down if it gets end-of-file from the server.

  • parameter trace

    Used to trace all messages sent and received. The default tracer logs messages at debug level, and the log's source is set to debug level if $WAYLAND_DEBUG is "1" or "client" the first time connect is called.

val sync : t -> unit

Send a sync message to the server and wait for the reply. This ensures that all previous messages have been received.

val wl_display : t -> [ `V1 ] Wayland_client.Wl_display.t

wl_display t returns the initial object for the display. You probably want to use Registry.of_display instead.

val stop : t -> unit

stop t shuts down t's transport, causing the server to receive end-of-file.

val dump : t Fmt.t

Dump the state of the connection for debugging.
