  <title>Wayland Library</title>

  <para>
  The open-source reference implementation of Wayland protocol is split in two
  C libraries, <link linkend="sect-Library-Server">libwayland-server</link> and
  <link linkend="sect-Library-Client">libwayland-client</link>. Their main
  responsibility is to handle the Inter-process communication
  (<emphasis>IPC</emphasis>) with each other, therefore guaranteeing the
  protocol objects marshaling and messages synchronization.
  </para>

  <para>
  This Chapter describes in detail each library's methods and their helpers,
  aiming implementors who can use for building Wayland clients and servers;
  respectively at <xref linkend="sect-Library-Client"/> and
  <xref linkend="sect-Library-Server"/>.
