\section1 Description
 
qt_generate_wayland_protocol_server_sources() creates the build steps to run \c{waylandscanner} and
\c{qtwaylandscanner} on one or more Wayland protocol files. The tools will in turn generate binding
code in C and C++ for implementing the protocols, and the resulting files will be built as part
of the \c target.
 
qt_generate_wayland_protocol_server_sources() will trigger generation of the files needed to
implement the compositor side of the protocol.
 
\l{qt_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources}{qt_generate_wayland_protocol_client_sources()}
is the equivalent function for the client.
 
See the \l{Custom Shell} or \l{Custom Extension} examples for a demonstration of how to use these
functions.
