/*
Definition of the GIP protocol (Graphics Initiation Protocol).
This is a protocol meant for communication on a local machine between
a process providing a graphics window (screen & input) and a client
process that does user interaction.
Examples :
- giosrv makes the hardware available as a GIP server
- the login manager is a GIP client of giosrv
- the user window manager is a GIP client of the login manager
(when a user session is active, the login manager is mostly a GIP proxy,
but it intercepts the Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard shortcut to terminate/lock
the active user session)
- each window managed by the WM acts as a GIP server.
- the GUI library basically knows how to be a GIP client that does actually
usefull stuff (displaying a gui)
Features of the GIP protocol for OUTPUT :
- as an option, mode setting (for when the buffer is a display)
- as an option, buffer resizing (for when the buffer is a window)
TODO: interacts somehow with WMP (window managing protocol)
- server-side allocation of a framebuffer
- as an option, double buffering (server allocates two buffers,
client tells server to switch buffers)
- "buffer damage" notification from clients on active buffer,
(not necessary, and disabled, when the buffer is actually the
display output itself)
(a buffer switch request implies a global buffer damage notification)
Features of the GIP protocol for KEYBOARD INPUT :
- raw keycode notification from server on keypress/keyrelease
Features of the GIP protocol for MOUSE INPUT :
- as an option, raw mouse data input
- as an option, mouse data parsing & notification in terms
of (mouse_x, mouse_y)
- as an option, cursor display handling (server mouse data
parsing must be enabled)
The active/inactive features are defined on a per-GIP-channel basis.
Typical GIP session :
- C: RESET
- S: INTIATE (available features)
- S: BUFFER_INFO (base buffer)
- C: ENABLE_FEATURES (desired features)
- S: OK
- S: BUFFER_INFO (double buffering is enabled! new buffers needed)
- C: draws on buffer 1
- C: SWITCH_BUFFER 1
- S does not answer to SWITCH_BUFFER messages (they happen too often!)
- C: draws on buffer 0
- C: SWITCH_BUFFER 0
- ...
