14:17 <cmoi11> I'm trying to understand river-options. Where does the zriver struct come from? It's nowhere to find in the code...

14:19 <cmoi11> Or I cannot find it :/

14:22 <ifreund> cmoi11: It's generated from the protocol xml by zig-wayland in the build.zig

14:23 <ifreund> you can find the generated code in zig-cache/zig-wayland

14:24 <ifreund> and the protocol xml is in the protocol directory of course, I usually just read that

14:27 <ifreund> note that river doesn't make very good use of the protocol yet, I plan to move all of the simple configuration options over to it eventually though (e.g. border width/color, padding)

14:27 <ifreund> some are already moved in the open river-layout PR

14:41 <cmoi11> Ok I think I'm beginning to understand this protocol thing. I've never looked into the wayland internals so far so maybe I need to check out this protocol think in general first...

14:43 <ifreund> this is some good reading on that topic: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ch04.html

14:44 <cmoi11> Cool thanks, I'll check it out :)

14:44 <ifreund> it mostly discusses the core wayland.xml protocol but also talks about how the protocol works in general

14:46 <ifreund> if you just want to use the protocol though you don't have to implement a client yourself

14:46 <ifreund> riverctl is a river-options client
