Detailed Description

A Wayland protocol global.

The LGlobal class encapsulates a wl_global, which is a special protocol interface notified to clients through the wl_registry interface.

Clients bound to a global can request the creation of resources with interfaces that provide functionality specific to the protocol they belong to.

Every protocol typically includes one or more globals. To view the globals implemented by Louvre, refer to LCompositor::createGlobalsRequest().

You can override LCompositor::createGlobalsRequest() to disable or add custom globals. To add a custom global, refer to LCompositor::createGlobal() and to remove it, use LCompositor::removeGlobal().

Note: Calling LCompositor::removeGlobal() isn't mandatory as globals are automatically destroyed during the compositor's uninitialization.
