-\section{Synchronization Protocol}
-
-The core X protocol makes no guarantees about the relative order of execution
-of requests for different clients. This means that any synchronization between
-clients must be done at the client level in an operating system-dependent and
-network-dependent manner. Even if there was an accepted standard for such
-synchronization, the use of a network introduces unpredictable delays between
-the synchronization of the clients and the delivery of the resulting requests
-to the X server.
-
-The core X protocol also makes no guarantees about the time at which requests
-are executed, which means that all clients with real-time constraints must
-implement their timing on the host computer. Any such timings are subject to
-error introduced by delays within the operating system and network and are
-inefficient because of the need for round-trip requests that keep the client and
-server synchronized.
-
-The synchronization extension provides primitives that allow synchronization
-between clients to take place entirely within the X server. This removes any
-error introduced by the network and makes it possible to synchronize clients
-on different hosts running different operating systems. This is important for
-multimedia applications, where audio, video, and graphics data streams are
-being synchronized. The extension also provides internal timers within the X
-server to which client requests can be synchronized. This allows simple
-animation applications to be implemented without any round-trip requests and
-makes best use of buffering within the client, network, and server.
-
-\subsection{Description}
-
-The mechanism used by this extension for synchronization within the X server
-is to block the processing of requests from a client until a specific
-synchronization condition occurs. When the condition occurs, the client is
-released and processing of requests continues. Multiple clients may block on
-the same condition to give inter-client synchronization. Alternatively, a
-single client may block on a condition such as an animation frame marker.
-
-The extension adds \defn{Counter} and \defn{Alarm} to the set of resources
-managed by the server. A counter has a 64-bit integer value that may be
-increased or decreased by client requests or by the server internally. A
-client can block by sending an \request{Await} request that waits until
-one of a set of synchronization conditions, called TRIGGERs, becomes TRUE.
-
-The \request{CreateCounter} request allows a client to create a
-\defn{Counter} that can be changed by explicit \request{SetCounter} and
-\request{ChangeCounter} requests. These can be used to implement
-synchronization between different clients.
-
-There are some counters, called \defn{System Counters}, that are changed by
-the server internally rather than by client requests. The effect of any change
-to a system counter is not visible until the server has finished processing the
-current request. In other words, system counters are apparently updated in the
-gaps between the execution of requests rather than during the actual execution
-of a request. The extension provides a system counter that advances with the
-server time as defined by the core protocol, and it may also provide counters
-that advance with the real-world time or that change each time the CRT
-screen is refreshed. Other extensions may provide their own
-extension-specific system counters.
-
-The extension provides an \defn{Alarm} mechanism that allows clients to
-receive an event on a regular basis when a particular counter is changed.
-
-\section{C Language Binding}
-
-The C routines provide direct access to the protocol and add
-no additional semantics.
-
-The include file for this extension is \verb|<X11/extensions/sync.h>|.
-
-Most of the names in the language binding are derived from the
-protocol names by prepending \cfunctionname{XSync} to the protocol name and changing
-the capitalization.
-
-\subsection{C Functions}
-
-Most of the following functions generate SYNC protocol requests.
-
-% start marker
-\cstartfunction{Status}{XSyncQueryExtension}
-\cargdecl{Display *}{dpy},
-\cargdecl{int *}{event\_base\_return},
-\cargdecl{int *}{error\_base\_return}
-\cendfunctiondecl
-% end marker
-
-If dpy supports the SYNC extension, \cfunctionname{XSyncQueryExtension}
-returns \cconst{True}, sets *event\_base\_return to the event number for the
-first SYNC event, and sets
-*error\_base\_return to the error number for the first SYNC
-error. If dpy does not support the SYNC extension, it
-returns \cconst{False}.
-\cendfuncdescription
-
-
-% start marker
-\cstartfunction{Status}{XSyncInitialize}
-\cargdecl{Display *}{dpy},
-\cargdecl{int *}{major\_version\_return},
-\cargdecl{int *}{minor\_version\_return}
-\cendfunctiondecl
-% end marker
-
-\cfunctionname{XSyncInitialize} sets *major\_version\_return and
-*minor\_version\_return to the major/minor SYNC protocol
-version supported by the server. If the XSync library is compatible
-with the version returned by the server, this function returns \cconst{True}.
-If dpy does not support the SYNC extension, or if there was an error during
-communication with the server, or if the server and library protocol
-versions are incompatible, this function returns \cconst{False}. The only
-XSync function that may be called before this function is
-\cfunctionname{XSyncQueryExtension}. If a client violates this rule,
-the effects of all XSync calls that it makes are undefined.
-\cendfuncdescription

-
-% start marker
-\cstartfunction{XSyncSystemCounter *}{XSyncListSystemCounters}
-\cargdecl{Display *}{dpy},
-\cargdecl{int *}{n\_counters\_return}
-\cendfunctiondecl
-% end marker
-
-\cfunctionname{XSyncListSystemCounters} returns a pointer to an
-array of system counters supported by the display and sets
-*n\_counters\_return to the number of
-counters in the array. The array should be freed with
-\cfunctionname{XSyncFreeSystemCounterList}. If dpy does not
-support the SYNC extension,
-or if there was an error during communication with the
-server, or if the server does not support any system counters, this
-function returns NULL.
-
-\ctypename{XSyncSystemCounter} has the following fields:
-
-\begin{tabular}{lll}
-char * & name; & /* null-terminated name of system counter */\\
-XSyncCounter & counter; & /* counter id of this system counter */\\

-\subsection{Events}
-
-Let \cargname{event\_base} be the value \cargname{event\_base\_return}
-as defined in the function \cfunctionname{XSyncQueryExtension}.
-
-An \ctypename{XSyncCounterNotifyEvent}'s type field has the value
-\cargname{event\_base} + \cconst{XSyncCounterNotify}. The fields of
-this structure are:
-
-\begin{tabular}{lll}
-int & type; & /* event base + \cconst{XSyncCounterNotify} */ \\
-unsigned long & serial; & /* number of last request processed by server */ \\
-Bool & send\_event;& /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */ \\
-Display * & display; & /* Display the event was read from */\\
-XSyncCounter & counter; & /* counter involved in await */\\
-XSyncValue & wait\_value; & /* value being waited for */\\
-XSyncValue & counter\_value; & /* counter value when this event was sent */\\
-Time & time; & /* milliseconds */\\
-int & count; & /* how many more events to come */\\
-Bool & destroyed; & /* True if counter was destroyed */\\
-\end{tabular}
-
-An \ctypename{XSyncAlarmNotifyEvent}'s type field has the value
-\cargname{event\_base} + \cconst{XSyncAlarmNotify}. The fields of this
-structure are:
-
-\begin{tabular}{lll}
-int & type;& /* event base + \cconst{XSyncAlarmNotify} */\\
-unsigned long & serial;&/* number of last request processed by server */\\
-Bool & send\_event;& /* true if this came from a SendEvent request */\\

-Time & time;& /* milliseconds */\\
-XSyncAlarmState & state;& /* new state of alarm */\\

-\subsection{Errors}
-
-Let \cargname{error\_base} be the value \cargname{error\_base\_return}
-as defined in the function \cfunctionname{XSyncQueryExtension}.
-
-An \ctypename{XSyncAlarmError}'s error\_code field has the value
-\cargname{error\_base} + \cconst{XSyncBadAlarm}. The fields of
-this structure are:
-
-\begin{tabular}{lll}
-int & type; \\
-Display * & display;& /* Display the event was read from */\\
-XSyncAlarm & alarm;& /* resource id */\\
-unsigned long & serial;& /* serial number of failed request */\\

-unsigned char & request\_code;&/* Major op-code of failed request */\\
-unsigned char & minor\_code;&/* Minor op-code of failed request */\\
-\end{tabular}
-
-An \ctypename{XSyncCounterError}'s error\_code field has the value
-\cargname{error\_base} + \cconst{XSyncBadCounter}. The fields of
-this structure are:
-
-\begin{tabular}{lll}
