hello_wayland
=============

A hello world application for Wayland.

**Note**: this example uses [wl_shell](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/apa.html#protocol-spec-wl_shell), a Wayland interface deprecated in favor of [xdg-shell](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/tree/stable/xdg-shell). A similar client, updated to use xdg-shell, is available here: https://github.com/emersion/hello-wayland

    This is a wayland hello world application. It uses the wayland
    client library and the wayland protocol to display a window in
    a wayland display server. It sets the cursor icon and receives
    pointer input, exiting the program when clicked, so that it
    is a complete input/output example.
    
    Wayland configuration is verbose, so the code is split into a
    helper module, which does all the job and the main module, which
    describes in a high level each step configuration and operation.
