accept_target.lua

-- accept_target
-- @short: accept a pending target request for a new segment
-- @inargs:
-- @inargs: int:setw, int:seth,
-- @inargs: int:setw, int:seth, func:callback
-- @outargs: vid, aid, cookie
-- @longdescr: A connected frameserver is provided with one segment
-- by default, but additional ones can be requested. If that happens,
-- a segment_request event is sent through to the callback
-- associated with the frameserver. If this request goes unhandled
-- in the callback implementation, a rejection reply will be sent.
-- By calling accept_target in immediate response to a segment_request,
-- a new segment will be allocated and sent to the frameserver. The
-- type of this segment will follow the one present in the request,
-- and it is the responsibility of the script to determine that this
-- is one that is supported. To filter the segkind field, prefer to
-- use a whitelisting approach.
-- The optional arguments *setw*, *seth* can be used to change the
-- initial dimensions of the new segment from the ones requested in the
-- segreq event (see ref:launch\_target). The frameserver can still
-- perform a resize to ignore these values, but it saves a possible
-- displayhint->resize cycle with the initial 1-2 frame setup latency
-- that would impose.
-- The optional argument *callback* sets the event handler for the
-- new segment, but can also be changed with calls to
-- ref:target_updatehandler.
-- On success, the function returns reference handles to the new audio
-- and video resources, along with an identification token that might
-- be used by the client for reparenting in viewport events.
-- @note: accept_target is context sensitive. This means that calling
-- it outside a frameserver event-handler, or when there is no pending
-- segment_request event, is a terminal state transition.
-- @note: Possible segkind values for a subsegment are: "multimedia",
-- "cursor", "terminal", "popup", "icon", "remoting", "game", "hmd-l",
-- "hmd-r", "hmd-sbs-lr", "vm", "application", "clipboard", "browser",
-- "encoder", "titlebar", "sensor", "debug", "accessibility".
-- @note: The number of permitted segments etc. should be limited
-- by available vids and other resources so that a malicious client
-- cannot starve the serving arcan process. See the 'recursive_evil'
-- security test case for more detail.
-- @note: Subsegments are always bound to the primary segment,
-- this means that attempts at complex hierarchies, such as a main-
-- window with a popup window with a titlebar with an icon is not
-- possible directly, though viewport hints can be used to describe
-- such relations superficially.
