  \title Qt Wayland Compositor
  \brief An API to develop display servers supporting the Wayland protocol

  Qt Wayland Compositor is a module that provides QML and C++ APIs for
  developing custom display servers based on the
  \l{http://wayland.freedesktop.org}{Wayland protocol}. The server displays
  content from client applications that support the Wayland protocol.

  \section1 Environment Variables and Command-line Arguments

  The Qt Wayland Compositor API recognizes some environment variables and
  command-line arguments that can be used to customize its behavior.

  \list
  \li Environment variables:
      \list
      \li \b QT_WAYLAND_HARDWARE_INTEGRATION Selects the hardware integration
          plugin to use.
      \li \b QT_WAYLAND_CLIENT_BUFFER_INTEGRATION Selects the client buffer
          integration plugin to use.
      \li \b QT_WAYLAND_SERVER_BUFFER_INTEGRATION Selects the server
          integration plugin to use.
      \endlist
  \li Command-line arguments:
      \list
      \li \c{--wayland-socket-name} Overrides the default socket name used for
          communicating with clients.
      \endlist
  \endlist
