  <description summary="capturing the contents of toplevel windows">
    This protocol allows clients to ask for exporting another toplevel's
    surface(s) to a buffer.

    Particularly useful for sharing a single window.

  <interface name="hyprland_toplevel_export_manager_v1" version="1">
    <description summary="manager to inform clients and begin capturing">
      This object is a manager which offers requests to start capturing from a
      source.
    </description>

    <request name="capture_toplevel">
      <description summary="capture a toplevel">
        Capture the next frame of a toplevel. (window)

        The captured frame will not contain any server-side decorations and will
        ignore the compositor-set geometry, like e.g. rounded corners.

        It will contain all the subsurfaces and popups, however the latter will be clipped
        to the geometry of the base surface.

        The handle parameter refers to the address of the window as seen in `hyprctl clients`.
        For example, for d161e7b0 it would be 3512854448.

  <interface name="hyprland_toplevel_export_frame_v1" version="1">
    <description summary="a frame ready for copy">
      This object represents a single frame.

      When created, a series of buffer events will be sent, each representing a
      supported buffer type. The "buffer_done" event is sent afterwards to
      indicate that all supported buffer types have been enumerated. The client
      will then be able to send a "copy" request. If the capture is successful,
      the compositor will send a "flags" followed by a "ready" event.

      wl_shm buffers are always supported, ie. the "buffer" event is guaranteed to be sent.

      If the capture failed, the "failed" event is sent. This can happen anytime
      before the "ready" event.

      Once either a "ready" or a "failed" event is received, the client should
      destroy the frame.

    <request name="copy">
      <description summary="copy the frame">
        Copy the frame to the supplied buffer. The buffer must have the
        correct size, see hyprland_toplevel_export_frame_v1.buffer and
        hyprland_toplevel_export_frame_v1.linux_dmabuf. The buffer needs to have a
        supported format.

        If the frame is successfully copied, a "flags" and a "ready" event is
        sent. Otherwise, a "failed" event is sent.

        This event will wait for appropriate damage to be copied, unless the ignore_damage
        arg is set to a non-zero value.

        This event is sent right before the ready event when ignore_damage was

        request.

        The arguments describe a box around an area that has changed since the
        last copy request that was derived from the current screencopy manager
        instance.

        The union of all regions received between the call to copy
        and a ready event is the total damage since the prior ready event.

        at.

        The timestamp is expressed as tv_sec_hi, tv_sec_lo, tv_nsec triples,
        each component being an unsigned 32-bit value. Whole seconds are in
        tv_sec which is a 64-bit value combined from tv_sec_hi and tv_sec_lo,
        and the additional fractional part in tv_nsec as nanoseconds. Hence,
        for valid timestamps tv_nsec must be in [0, 999999999]. The seconds part
        may have an arbitrary offset at start.

        After receiving this event, the client should destroy the object.
