      This interface allows a client to describe the kind of content a surface
      will display, to allow the compositor to optimize its behavior for it.

      Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the testing
      phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the
      corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes can
      only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.

    <description summary="content type object for a surface">
      The content type object allows the compositor to optimize for the kind
      of content shown on the surface. A compositor may for example use it to
      set relevant drm properties like "content type".

      The client may request to switch to another content type at any time.
      When the associated surface gets destroyed, this object becomes inert and
      the client should destroy it.

      <description summary="destroy the content type object">
        Switch back to not specifying the content type of this surface. This is
        equivalent to setting the content type to none, including double
        buffering semantics. See set_content_type for details.

          The content type none means that either the application has no data

        Set the surface content type. This informs the compositor that the
        client believes it is displaying buffers matching this content type.

        This is purely a hint for the compositor, which can be used to adjust
        its behavior or hardware settings to fit the presented content best.

        The content type is double-buffered state, see wl_surface.commit for
        details.
