  \li QT_WAYLAND_HARDWARE_INTEGRATION Selects which hardware integration plugin to use.
  \li QT_WAYLAND_CLIENT_BUFFER_INTEGRATION Selects which client buffer integration plugin to use.
  \li QT_WAYLAND_SERVER_BUFFER_INTEGRATION Selects which server integration plugin to use.
  \endlist

  The command-line arguments:
  \list
  \li --wayland-socket-name Overrides the default socket name used for communicating with clients.
  \endlist

  \section1 Examples

  Take a look at the \l{Qt Wayland Compositor Examples} for a demonstration on
  how the APIs can be used to write custom display servers.
