  Description     : A compositor library for Wayland

This is a compositor library for Wayland.
.
Wayland is a computer protocol that specifies the communication between
a display server (called Wayland cimpositor) and its clients. It aims to
replace X protocol soon(r).


Currently only weston is packaged in Debian, this should allow easier
packaging/development for window managers that depend
on this library (among others an almost drop-in replacement for i3).

It is a requirment for the following window managers:
  * orbment - Modular Wayland compositor
  * ocaml-loliwm - Translation of loliwm to OCaml
  * sway - i3-compatible window manager for Wayland
  * way-cooler - customizeable window manager written in Rust

There are bindings for the following languages:
  * ocaml-wlc - OCaml (experimental)
  * go-wlc - Go
  * rust-wlc - Rust

Similar projects:
  * swc - A library for making a simple Wayland compositor
  * libwlb - A Wayland back-end library
  * libweston - Weston as a library

The official name is "wlc" but wlc name is taken by another package
not related to this one.
