/**
 * @short KWayland Client.
 *
 * This namespace groups all classes related to the Client module.
 *
 * The main entry point into the KWayland::Client API is the ConnectionThread class.
 * It allows to create a Wayland client connection either in a native way or wrap a
 * connection created by the QtWayland QPA plugin.
 *
 * KWayland::Client provides one the one hand a low-level API to interact with the
 * Wayland API, on the other hand an easy to use convenience API. Each class directly
 * relates to a low-level Wayland type and allows direct casting into the type.
 *
 * On the convenience side KWayland::Client allows easy creation of objects, signals
 * emitted for Wayland events and easy conversion from Qt to Wayland types.
 *
 * Once one has a ConnectionThread created, it's possible to setup a Registry to
 * get a listing of all registered globals. For each global the Registry provides a convenience
 * method to create the resource.
 *
 * @see ConnectionThread
 * @see Registry

/**
 * @short Creates and manages the connection to a Wayland server.
 *
 * The purpose of this class is to create the connection to a Wayland server
 * and to manage it. As the name suggests it's intended to move instances of
 * this class into a dedicated thread. This also means that this class doesn't
 * inherit QThread. In order to use it in a threaded way one needs to create a
 * QThread and move the object there:
 *
 * @code
 * ConnectionThread *connection = new ConnectionThread;
 * QThread *thread = new QThread;
 * connection->moveToThread(thread);
 * thread->start();
 * @endcode
 *
 * To finalize the initialization of the connection one needs to call @link ::initConnection @endlink.
 * This starts an asynchronous connection initialization. In case the initialization
 * succeeds the signal @link ::connected @endlink will be emitted, otherwise @link ::failed @endlink will
 * be emitted:
 *
 * @code
 * connect(connection, &ConnectionThread::connected, [connection] {
 *     qDebug() << "Successfully connected to Wayland server at socket:" << connection->socketName();
 * });
 * connect(connection, &ConnectionThread::failed, [connection] {
 *     qDebug() << "Failed to connect to Wayland server at socket:" << connection->socketName();
 * });
 * connection->initConnection();
 * @endcode
 *
 * This class is also responsible for dispatching events. Whenever new data is available on
 * the Wayland socket, it will be dispatched and the signal @link ::eventsRead @endlink is emitted.
 * This allows further event queues in other threads to also dispatch their events.
 *
 * Furthermore this class flushes the Wayland connection whenever the QAbstractEventDispatcher
 * is about to block.
 *
 * To disconnect the connection to the Wayland server one should delete the instance of this
 * class and quit the dedicated thread:
 *
 * @code
 * connection->deleteLater();
 * thread->quit();
 * thread->wait();
 * @endcode
 *
 * In addition the ConnectionThread provides integration with QtWayland QPA plugin. For that
 * it provides a static factory method:
 *
 * @code
 * auto connection = ConnectionThread::fromApplication();
 * @endcode
 *
 * The semantics of the ConnectionThread are slightly changed if it's integrated with QtWayland.
 * The ConnectionThread does not hold the connection, does not emit connected or released signals
 * (one can safely assume that the connection is valid when integrating with the Qt application),
 * does not dispatch events. Given that the use case of the ConnectionThread is rather limited to
 * a convenient API around wl_display to allow easily setup an own Registry in a QtWayland powered
 * application. Also moving the ConnectionThread to a different thread is not necessarily recommended
 * in that case as QtWayland holds it's connection in an own thread anyway.
 *
