-\section{Introduction}
-
-The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) provides a standard way to utilize
-double-buffering within the framework of the X Window System.
-Double-buffering uses two buffers, called front and back, which hold
-images. The front buffer is visible to the user; the back buffer is
-not. Successive frames of an animation are rendered into the back
-buffer while the previously rendered frame is displayed in the front
-buffer. When a new frame is ready, the back and front buffers swap
-roles, making the new frame visible. Ideally, this exchange appears to
-happen instantaneously to the user and with no visual artifacts. Thus,
-only completely rendered images are presented to the user, and they remain
-visible during the entire time it takes to render a new frame. The
-result is a flicker-free animation.
-
-\section{Goals}
-
-This extension should enable clients to:
-\begin{itemize}
-
-\item Allocate and deallocate double-buffering for a window.
-
-\item Draw to and read from the front and back buffers associated with
-a window.
-
-\item Swap the front and back buffers associated with a window.
-
-\item Specify a wide range of actions to be taken when a window is
-swapped. This includes explicit, simple swap actions (defined
-below), and more complex actions (for example, clearing ancillary buffers)
-that can be put together within explicit ``begin'' and ``end''
-requests (defined below).
-
-\item Request that the front and back buffers associated with multiple
-double-buffered windows be swapped simultaneously.
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-In addition, the extension should:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-
-\item Allow multiple clients to use double-buffering on the same window.
-
-\item Support a range of implementation methods that can capitalize on
-existing hardware features.
-
-\item Add no new event types.
-
-\item Be reasonably easy to integrate with a variety of direct graphics
-hardware access (DGHA) architectures.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\section{Concepts}
-
-Normal windows are created using the core \requestname{CreateWindow}
-request, which allocates a set of window attributes and, for
-\literal{InputOutput} windows, a front buffer,
-into which an image can be drawn.
-The contents of this buffer will be displayed when the window is
-visible.
-
-This extension enables applications to use double-buffering with a
-window. This involves creating a second buffer, called a back buffer,
-and associating one or more back buffer names (\typename{XID}s) with
-the window for use when referring to (that is, drawing to or reading
-from) the window's back buffer. The back buffer name is a
-\typename{DRAWABLE} of type \typename{BACKBUFFER}.
-
-DBE provides a relative double-buffering model. One XID, the window,
-always refers to the front buffer. One or more other XIDs, the back buffer
-names, always refer to the back buffer. After a buffer swap, the
-window continues to refer to the (new) front buffer, and the
-back buffer name continues to refer to the (new) back buffer. Thus,
-applications and toolkits that want to just render to the back buffer
-always use the back buffer name for all drawing requests to the
-window. Portions of an application that want to render to the front
-buffer always use the window XID for all drawing requests to the
-window.
-
-Multiple clients and toolkits can all use double-buffering on the same
-window. DBE does not provide a request for querying whether a window
-has double-buffering support, and if so, what the back buffer name is.
-Given the asynchronous nature of the X Window System, this would cause
-race conditions. Instead, DBE allows multiple back buffer names to
-exist for the same window; they all refer to the same physical back
-buffer. The first time a back buffer name is allocated for a window,
-the window becomes double-buffered and the back buffer name is
-associated with the window. Subsequently, the window already is a
-double-buffered window, and nothing about the window changes when a
-new back buffer name is allocated, except that the new back buffer
-name is associated with the window. The window remains
-double-buffered until either the window is destroyed or until all of
-the back buffer names for the window are deallocated.
-
-In general, both the front and back buffers are treated the same. In
-particular, here are some important characteristics:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-
-\item Only one buffer per window can be visible at a time (the
-front buffer).
-
-\item Both buffers associated with a window have the same visual type,
-depth, width, height, and shape as the window.
-
-\item Both buffers associated with a window are ``visible'' (or
-``obscured'') in the same way. When an \literal{Expose} event is
-generated for
-a window, both buffers should be considered to be damaged in the
-exposed area. Damage that occurs to either buffer will result in an
-\literal{Expose} event on the window. When a double-buffered window is
-exposed,
-both buffers are tiled with the window background, exactly as stated
-by the core protocol. Even though the back buffer is not visible,
-terms such as obscure apply to the back buffer as well as to the front
-buffer.
-
-\item It is acceptable at any time to pass a \typename{BACKBUFFER} in
-any request, notably any core or extension drawing request, that
-expects a \typename{DRAWABLE}. This enables an application to draw
-directly into \typename{BACKBUFFER}s in the same fashion as it would
-draw into any other \typename{DRAWABLE}.
-
-\item It is an error (\literal{Window}) to pass a \typename{BACKBUFFER} in a
-core request that expects a Window.
-
-\item A \typename{BACKBUFFER} will never be sent by core X in a reply,
-event, or error where a Window is specified.
-\item If core X11 backing-store and save-under applies to a
-double-buffered window, it applies to both buffers equally.
-
-\item If the core \requestname{ClearArea} request is executed on a
-double-buffered window, the same area in both the front and back
-buffers is cleared.
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-The effect of passing a window to a request that accepts a
-\typename{DRAWABLE} is unchanged by this extension. The window and
-front buffer are synonomous with each other. This includes obeying
-the \requestname{GetImage} semantics and the subwindow-mode semantics
-if a core graphics context is involved. Regardless of whether the
-window was explicitly passed in a \requestname{GetImage} request, or
-implicitly referenced (that is, one of the window's ancestors was passed
-in the request), the front (that is, visible) buffer is always referenced.
-Thus, DBE-na\"{\i}ve screen dump clients will always get the front buffer.
-\requestname{GetImage} on a back buffer returns undefined image
-contents for any obscured regions of the back buffer that fall within
-the image.
-
-Drawing to a back buffer always uses the clip region that would be
-used to draw to the front buffer with a GC subwindow-mode of
-\literal{ClipByChildren}. If an ancestor of a double-buffered window is drawn
-to with a core GC having a subwindow-mode of \literal{IncludeInferiors}, the
-effect on the double-buffered window's back buffer depends on the
-depth of the double-buffered window and the ancestor. If the depths
-are the same, the contents of the back buffer of the double-buffered
-window are not changed. If the depths are different, the contents of
-the back buffer of the double-buffered window are undefined for the
-pixels that the \literal{IncludeInferiors} drawing touched.
-
-DBE adds no new events. DBE does not extend the semantics of any
-existing events with the exception of adding a new \typename{DRAWABLE}
-type called \typename{BACKBUFFER}. If events, replies, or errors that
-contain a \typename{DRAWABLE} (for example, \literal{GraphicsExpose}) are
-generated in
-response to a request, the \typename{DRAWABLE} returned will be the
-one specified in the request.
-
-DBE advertises which visuals support double-buffering.
-
-DBE does not include any timing or synchronization facilities.
-Applications that need such facilities (for example, to maintain a constant
-frame rate) should investigate the Synchronization Extension, an X
-Consortium standard.
-
-\subsection{Window Management Operations}
-
-The basic philosophy of DBE is that both buffers are treated the same by
-core X window management operations.
-
-When the core \requestname{DestroyWindow} is executed on a
-double-buffered window, both buffers associated with the window are
-destroyed, and all back buffer names associated with the window are
-freed.
-
-If the core \requestname{ConfigureWindow} request changes the size of
-a window, both buffers assume the new size. If the window's size
-increases, the effect on the buffers depends on whether the
-implementation honors bit gravity for buffers. If bit gravity is
-implemented, then the contents of both buffers are moved in accordance
-with the window's bit gravity (see the core
-\requestname{ConfigureWindow} request), and the remaining areas are
-tiled with the window background. If bit gravity is not implemented,
-then the entire unobscured region of both buffers is tiled with the
-window background. In either case, \literal{Expose} events are generated for
-the region that is tiled with the window background.
-
-If the core \requestname{GetGeometry} request is executed on a
-\typename{BACKBUFFER}, the returned x, y, and border-width will be
-zero.
-
-If the Shape extension \requestname{ShapeRectangles},
-\requestname{ShapeMask}, \requestname{ShapeCombine}, or
-\requestname{ShapeOffset} request is executed on a double-buffered
-window, both buffers are reshaped to match the new window shape. The
-region difference is the following:
-
-\[ D = new shape - old shape \]
-
-It is tiled with the window background in both buffers,
-and \literal{Expose} events are generated for D.
-
-\subsection{Complex Swap Actions}
-
-DBE has no explicit knowledge of ancillary buffers (for example, depth buffers
-or alpha buffers), and only has a limited set of defined swap actions.
-Some applications may need a richer set of swap actions than DBE
-provides. Some DBE implementations have knowledge of ancillary
-buffers, and/or can provide a rich set of swap actions. Instead of
-continually extending DBE to increase its set of swap actions, DBE
-provides a flexible ``idiom'' mechanism. If an application's needs
-are served by the defined swap actions, it should use them; otherwise,
-it should use the following method of expressing a complex swap action
-as an idiom. Following this policy will ensure the best possible
-performance across a wide variety of implementations.
-
-As suggested by the term ``idiom,'' a complex swap action should be
-expressed as a group/series of requests. Taken together, this group
-of requests may be combined into an atomic operation by the
-implementation, in order to maximize performance. The set of idioms
-actually recognized for optimization is implementation dependent. To
-help with idiom expression and interpretation, an idiom must be
-surrounded by two protocol requests: \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} and
-\requestname{DBEEndIdiom}. Unless this begin-end pair surrounds the
-idiom, it may not be recognized by a given implementation, and
-performance will suffer.
-
-For example, if an application wants to swap buffers for two windows,
-and use core X to clear only certain planes of the back buffers, the
-application would issue the following protocol requests as a group, and
-in the following order:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} request.
-\item \requestname{DBESwapBuffers} request with XIDs for two windows, each
-of which uses a swap action of \literal{Untouched}.
-\item Core X \requestname{PolyFillRectangle} request to the back buffer of one window.
-\item Core X \requestname{PolyFillRectangle} request to the back buffer of the other window.
-\item \requestname{DBEEndIdiom} request.
-\end{itemize}
-
-The \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} and \requestname{DBEEndIdiom} requests
-do not perform any actions themselves. They are treated as markers by
-implementations that can combine certain groups/series of requests as
-idioms, and are ignored by other implementations or for nonrecognized
-groups/series of requests. If these requests are sent out of order,
-or are mismatched, no errors are sent, and the requests are executed
-as usual, though performance may suffer.
-
-An idiom need not include a \requestname{DBESwapBuffers} request. For
-example, if a swap action of \literal{Copied} is desired, but only some of the
-planes should be copied, a core X \requestname{CopyArea} request may
-be used instead of \requestname{DBESwapBuffers}. If
-\requestname{DBESwapBuffers} is included in an idiom, it should
-immediately follow the \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} request. Also,
-when the \requestname{DBESwapBuffers} is included in an idiom, that
-request's swap action will still be valid, and if the swap action
-might overlap with another request, then the final result of the idiom
-must be as if the separate requests were executed serially. For
-example, if the specified swap action is \literal{Untouched}, and if a
-\requestname{PolyFillRectangle} using a client clip rectangle is done
-to the window's back buffer after the \requestname{DBESwapBuffers}
-request, then the contents of the new back buffer (after the idiom)
-will be the same as if the idiom was not recognized by the
-implementation.
-
-It is highly recommended that Application Programming Interface (API)
-providers define, and application developers use, ``convenience'' functions
-that allow client applications to call one procedure that encapsulates common idioms.
-These functions will generate the \requestname{DBEBeginIdiom} request,
-the idiom requests, and \requestname{DBEEndIdiom} request. Usage of
-these functions will ensure best possible performance across a wide
-variety of implementations.

-\section{C Language Binding}
-
-The header for this extension is \verb|<X11/extensions/Xdbe.h>|. All
-identifier names provided by this header begin with Xdbe.
-
-\subsection{Types}
-
-The type \libtypename{XdbeBackBuffer} is a \libtypename{Drawable}.
-
-The type \libtypename{XdbeSwapAction} can be one of the constants
-\literal{XdbeUndefined}, \literal{XdbeBackground},
-\literal{XdbeUntouched}, or \literal{XdbeCopied}.
-
-\subsection{C Functions}
-
-The C functions provide direct access to the protocol and add no
-additional semantics. For complete details on the effects of these
-functions, refer to the appropriate protocol request, which can be
-derived by replacing Xdbe at the start of the function name with DBE\@.
-All functions that have return type \libtypename{Status} will return
-nonzero for success and zero for failure.

-\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.

-
-\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 */\\

-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 & error\_code;&/* error base + XSyncBadAlarm */\\
-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}
-int &type;\\
-Display * & display;& /* Display the event was read from */\\
-XSyncCounter & counter;& /* resource id */\\
-unsigned long & serial;& /* serial number of failed request */\\
-unsigned char & error\_code;&/* error base + XSyncBadCounter */\\
