-<chapter id="synchronization_protocol">

-<title>Synchronization Protocol</title>

-

-<para>

-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.

-</para>

-<para>

-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.

-</para>

-<para>

-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.

-</para>

-

-<sect1 id="description">

-<title>Description</title>

-<para>

-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.

-</para>

-<para>

-The extension adds <function>Counter</function> and

-<function>Alarm</function> 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 <function>Await</function> request that waits until

-one of a set of synchronization conditions, called TRIGGERs, becomes TRUE.

-</para>

-<para>

-The <function>CreateCounter</function> request allows a client to create

-a <function>Counter</function> that can be changed by explicit

-<function>SetCounter</function> and <function>ChangeCounter</function>

-requests. These can be used to implement synchronization between

-different clients.

-</para>

-<para>

-There are some counters, called <function>System Counters</function>,

-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.

-</para>

-<para>

-The extension provides an <function>Alarm</function> mechanism that allows clients to receive an

-event on a regular basis when a particular counter is changed.

-<title>C Language Binding</title>

-

-<para>

-The C routines provide direct access to the protocol and add no additional

-semantics.

-</para>

-<para>

-The include file for this extension is &lt;X11/extensions/sync.h&gt;.

-Most of the names in the language binding are derived from the protocol

-names by prepending XSync to the protocol name and changing the

-capitalization.

+<chapter id="synchronization_protocol">
+<title>Synchronization Protocol</title>
+
+<para>
+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.
+</para>
+<para>
+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.
+</para>
+<para>
+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.
+</para>
+
+<sect1 id="description">
+<title>Description</title>
+<para>
+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.
+</para>
+<para>
+The extension adds <function>Counter</function> and
+<function>Alarm</function> 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 <function>Await</function> request that waits until
+one of a set of synchronization conditions, called TRIGGERs, becomes TRUE.
+</para>
+<para>
+The <function>CreateCounter</function> request allows a client to create
+a <function>Counter</function> that can be changed by explicit
+<function>SetCounter</function> and <function>ChangeCounter</function>
+requests. These can be used to implement synchronization between
+different clients.
+</para>
+<para>
+There are some counters, called <function>System Counters</function>,
+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.
+</para>
+<para>
+The extension provides an <function>Alarm</function> mechanism that allows clients to receive an
+event on a regular basis when a particular counter is changed.

+<title>C Language Binding</title>
+
+<para>
+The C routines provide direct access to the protocol and add no additional
+semantics.
+</para>
+<para>
+The include file for this extension is &lt;X11/extensions/sync.h&gt;.
+Most of the names in the language binding are derived from the protocol
+names by prepending XSync to the protocol name and changing the
+capitalization.
