Idle notify
ext_idle_notifier_v1
This interface allows clients to monitor user idle status.
After binding to this global, clients can create ext_idle_notification_v1 objects to get notified when the user is idle for a given amount of time.
destroy()
Destroy the manager object. All objects created via this interface remain valid.
get_idle_notification(id: new_id<ext_idle_notification_v1>, timeout: uint, seat: object<wl_seat>)
Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | new_id<ext_idle_notification_v1> | |
| timeout | uint | minimum idle timeout in msec |
| seat | object<wl_seat> |
Create a new idle notification object.
The notification object has a minimum timeout duration and is tied to a seat. The client will be notified if the seat is inactive for at least the provided timeout. See ext_idle_notification_v1 for more details.
A zero timeout is valid and means the client wants to be notified as soon as possible when the seat is inactive.
ext_idle_notification_v1
This interface is used by the compositor to send idle notification events to clients.
Initially the notification object is not idle. The notification object becomes idle when no user activity has happened for at least the timeout duration, starting from the creation of the notification object. User activity may include input events or a presence sensor, but is compositor-specific. If an idle inhibitor is active (e.g. another client has created a zwp_idle_inhibitor_v1 on a visible surface), the compositor must not make the notification object idle.
When the notification object becomes idle, an idled event is sent. When user activity starts again, the notification object stops being idle, a resumed event is sent and the timeout is restarted.
destroy()
Destroy the notification object.
idled()
This event is sent when the notification object becomes idle.
It's a compositor protocol error to send this event twice without a resumed event in-between.
resumed()
This event is sent when the notification object stops being idle.
It's a compositor protocol error to send this event twice without an idled event in-between. It's a compositor protocol error to send this event prior to any idled event.
