struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager 

struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager {

};

Helper to allocate swapchains for mode-setting.

Compositors are expected to call wlr_output_swapchain_manager_init(), then pass the new desired output states to wlr_output_swapchain_manager_prepare(). Compositors may retry that step with different desired output states until they find a working configuration. Then, compositors should use wlr_output_swapchain_manager_get_swapchain() to get pending swapchains for outputs, render onto a new buffer acquired from the swapchain, and call wlr_backend_commit(). If that succeeds, wlr_output_swapchain_manager_apply() should be called. After compositors are done with the manager, be it after a success or failure, they should call wlr_output_swapchain_manager_finish().

wlr_output_swapchain_manager_apply() 

void wlr_output_swapchain_manager_apply(​struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager *manager);

Apply swapchains allocated for the last successful call to wlr_output_swapchain_manager_prepare().

This function swaps output swapchains with new swapchains suitable for the new output configuration. It should be called after a successful wlr_backend_commit().

wlr_output_swapchain_manager_finish() 

void wlr_output_swapchain_manager_finish(​struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager *manager);

Cleanup resources allocated by the manager.

wlr_output_swapchain_manager_get_swapchain() 

struct wlr_swapchain *wlr_output_swapchain_manager_get_swapchain(​struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager *manager, struct wlr_output *output);

Get the pending swapchain for an output.

This can only be called after a successful wlr_output_swapchain_manager_prepare(), if the output was passed in.

If the output is disabled, NULL is returned.

wlr_output_swapchain_manager_init() 

void wlr_output_swapchain_manager_init(​struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager *manager, struct wlr_backend *backend);

Initialize the manager.

Compositors should call wlr_output_swapchain_manager_finish() to cleanup the manager.

wlr_output_swapchain_manager_prepare() 

bool wlr_output_swapchain_manager_prepare(​struct wlr_output_swapchain_manager *manager, const struct wlr_backend_output_state *states, size_t states_len);
