As such, applications need to be specifically written to use +IVI-shell. + +IVI-shell contains two main features: +- Common layout library for surface, which allow ivi-shell developer + to develop own shell, linking Common layout library. + For the time being, the library refers Genivi ilm interface. + + http://projects.genivi.org/wayland-ivi-extension/ + +- Extension protocal; ivi-application to tie wl_surface and a given ID. + With this ID, shell can identify which wl_surface is drawn by which + application.
