<BEF> //! Backend (rendering/input) helpers
//!
//! This module provides helpers for interaction with the operating system.
//!
//! ## Module structure
//!
//! The module is largely structured around three main aspects of interaction with the OS:
//! session management, input handling, and graphics.
//!
//! ### Session management
//!
//! Session management relates to mechanisms allowing the compositor to access the resources
//! it needs to function. It contains interaction with the login manager if any ((e)logind or
//! seatd), as well as releasing those resources when TTY-switching. It is handled by the
//! [`session`] module, gated by the `backend_session` cargo feature. You will generally need
//! it to run your compositor directly on a TTY.
//!
//! This module is tightly coupled with the [`udev`] module (gated by the `backend_udev` cargo
//! feature), which allows the discovery of usable graphics and input devices on the system, using
//! the udev system daemon.
//!
//! ### Input handling
//!
//! Input handling consists in discovering the various available input devices, and receiving
//! all inputs events from it. Smithay is build to support different possible sources for
//! that input data, with a generic API provided by the traits and types defined in the
//! [`input`] module. An input provider following this API based on `libinput` is given in the
/// Internal functions that need to be accessible by the different backend implementations

trait SeatInternal {
    fn new(id: u32, capabilities: input::SeatCapabilities) -> Self;
}

trait TouchSlotInternal {
//!
//! Smithay provides a rendering infrastructure built around graphics buffers: you retrieve buffers
//! for your client, you composite them into a new buffer holding the contents of your desktop,
//! that you will then submit to the hardware for display. The backbone of this infrastructure is
//! structured around the [`allocator`] and [`renderer`] modules. The first one contains generic
//! traits representing the capability to allocate and convert graphical buffers, as well as an
//! implementation of this capability using GBM (see its module-level docs for details). The second
//! provides traits representing the capability of graphics rendering using those buffers, as well
//! as an implementation of this capability using GLes2 (see its module-level docs for details).
//!
//! Alongside this backbone capability, Smithay also provides the [`drm`] module, which handles
//! direct interaction with the graphical physical devices to setup the display pipeline and
//! submit rendered buffers to the monitors for display. This module is gated by the
//! `backend_drm` cargo feature.
//!
//! The [`egl`] module provides the logic to setup an OpenGL context. It is used by the Gles2
//! renderer (which is based on OpenGL), and also provides the capability for clients to use
//! the `wl_drm`-based hardware-acceleration provided by Mesa, a precursor to the
//! [`linux_dmabuf`](crate::wayland::dmabuf) Wayland protocol extension. Note that, at the
//! moment, even clients using dma-buf still require that the `wl_drm` infrastructure is
//! initialized to have hardware-acceleration.
//!
//! ## X11 backend
//!
//! Alongside this infrastructure, Smithay also provides an alternative backend based on
//! [x11rb](https://crates.io/crates/x11rb), which makes it possible to run your compositor as
//! an X11 client. This is generally quite helpful for development and debugging.
//!
//! The X11 backend does not concern itself with what renderer is in use, allowing presentation to
//! the window assuming you can provide it with a [`Dmabuf`](crate::backend::allocator::dmabuf::Dmabuf).
//! The X11 backend is also an input provider, and is accessible in the [`x11`] module, gated by
//! the `backend_x11` cargo feature.
//!
//! ## Winit backend
//!
//! Alongside this infrastructure, Smithay also provides an alternative backend based on
//! [winit](https://crates.io/crates/winit), which makes it possible to run your compositor as
//! a Wayland or X11 client. You are encouraged to use the X11 backend where possible since winit
//! does not integrate into calloop too well. This backend is generally quite helpful for
//! development and debugging. That backend is both a renderer and an input provider, and is
//! accessible in the [`winit`] module, gated by the `backend_winit` cargo feature.

<MSG> Adjust InputBackend for libinput compatibility

- Make id be an `u64` to be able to populate it by a hash
- Add internal interface to get a mutable capabilities reference from a `Seat`.
- `InputConfig` type does not need to be `Sized` on `InputBackend`
