🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

okay so. a protocol object. that's it, that's the whole thing, no cap.

a wl_object is an opaque struct — meaning you don't get to peek inside, it's giving mysterious main character energy 🔥 — and it identifies the protocol object underlying a wl_proxy or a wl_resource. like, it's the little guy underneath the little guy. iykyk. 💅

Note 🫶 — the functions that access a wl_object are not normally used by client code. periodt. clients should normally use the higher level interface generated by the scanner to interact with compositor objects. so like, stay in your lane, use the generated stuff, and you'll be fine bestie. no need to go digging under the hood unless you're literally built different. 🙈
